All around the world more and more people are employing 3D printing technologies in various ways. This trend has come to stay and keeps advancing every year as more additive manufacturing technologies come to light. Some call this the ‘Maker’ Revolution, while some refer to this as the 3rd Industrial Revolution, because of the disruptive effect it has on the global manufacturing landscape. It has made it possible for Makers to dream-up bigger and better products and at the same time achieve them faster and cheaper! 3D printing is being employed exhaustively in the Industrial Design field, where new and better products seem to be born every day, the Medical field employs 3d printing technologies exhaustively in development of prosthetics, dental fixtures and even 3d printed organs like livers, ears and skin.It’s employed extensively in the manufacture of custom jewelry as well as heavy-duty applications like 3D printed cars, jet engines and even buildings! In summary 3D printing is extensively vast in its application-anywhere you see a new product now-a-days, almost certainly, 3D printing was involved. With all these advantages available to us, it is high time we rose up and took advantage of this technology and reap the substantial profits therein! Here at ACECATECH, we elaborate in detail, and in a very practical way the beauty and especially the profitability of 3d printing. Making the student understand and explore available 3d printing technologies as well practice them, to ensure that the students hones 3d printing skills in a very practical way and profitable way!

Tolzeal:I think GDP per capital is the best tool to measure the richest instead of erranous GDP which doesn't show how much an individual make. China has one of the biggest GDP in the world but are still considered one of the world's poorest! am afraid, but must say this. for singling out those two states as the safest portrays a very poorly research findings. though Nigerian states are relatively not safe but their are hosts of states that that can be comfortably placed in those league of relative peaceful state. states like Akwa Ibom, cross Rivers, Ebonye, Kebbi, etc. don't Know your criteria though Cost of living do I Hear you say Ekiti ![]() maybe you have never been to the North If I understand what you mean by entertainment is it in terms of relaxation or Being an actor in the Nollywood movie. |

Control professions check out this simple online application on real control problem. This is a very simple Control design where we make use of PLC to control the level of liquid in a tank while displaying the liquid level in the field as well as in the control room. we are going to carry out the design from instrumentation to the control while demonstrating how we can apply ACECATECH APPs to reduce our engineering time. only details that are relevant to the design process are discussed here. https://acecatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/Animation-1-768x576.gif CONTROL PHILOSOPHY In this simple level control application we want to control the level of liquid in a tank which is 10m high by activating a motor pump when the fluid level in the tank is 9.5m. the motor will pump out the liquid from the tank until the level is 0.5m. we are also going to have a display of the process variable in the control as well as in the control room as shown below. https://toolson.net/ImageData/GifAnimation/4697933.gif?r=636348449113647786 CURRENT LOOP DESIGN Here we make use of ACECATECH APP. 1.0 to generate the required parameters for our loop design. we look up the manufacturer’s specification sheet for the transmitter (voltage range of operation and current signal range), field display/indicator (get the input impedance), PLC (get the input impedance, and current signal range of operation) and the loop voltage supply. Let assume we obtain the following from the spec. sheets of the our instrument and controller. Transmitter working voltage range: 12-30v, current signal range :4-20ma Display/indicator input impedance: 500 ohms PLC input impedance: 250, current range: 4-20ma let assume that the distance between our transmitter and controller is 800m. we proceed by plugging these values in our current loop design app ACECATECH APP. 1.0 by selecting desired wire size starting from the minimum we find that wire size o.75mm2 and above looks good for the design both at max. current and minimum current level. but voltage drop of 10.17v at maximum current is way too close to the transmitter lower range of operation so we choose 1mm2 for our application. PLC PROGRAMMING Many PLC have special function block or already made routine to scale analog signal to correspond to the actual process values in the field. however, some lower end PLCs and older ones may not have this capabilities so you have to write the software routines yourself. In fact, some times it is even desirable to write this routines yourself as you may want to control how the PLC handles the hardware flags. Here we make use of our online app ACACATEC APP 1.7 software scaling equation to generator two equations. the first equation is suitable for real/float point number arithmetic. The second equation suitable for integer arithmetic suitable for PLC that do not have float point math capabilities. for this example we are going to demonstrate how to use this app for PLC without float point capabilities as their analog scaling are pretty more involved. for this PLC programming lets choose Allen Bradley PLC SLC 5/01 which doesn’t have special function for scaling and do not have float math capabilities either We start by entering our scaling parameters in ACACATEC APP 1.7 Raw input value: 3277-16384 process output value: 0-10m from our equation software for integer math we generate the following equation: Xo=10/13107(Xi-3277) in the software program we make use of mathematical functions: subtraction, multiplication and double division while storing the data of the equation as integer type. NB in our program you must multiply before you divide! (sorry for violating the principle of BODMAS as integer math arithmetic seems to flout this rule as it is obvious from the equation.). Also, note that the product of 10 and (Xi-6400) in our equation will at higher value of Xi produce a value in excess of 32767 (ie 16 bits) which is the highest value an integer data type can store. This will prompt an over flow flag notifying that an error has occurred. for AB plc the over flow trap bit s: 5 is set. However, we apply some tricks to beat this in our program by unlatching the bit and using the double divide function to divide the result of operation in the math register which can store 32 bits with the divisor and store the result of operation in an integer register. the program is as shown below. https://acecatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/level17-1024x247.pnghttps://acecatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/level21-1024x411.pnghttps://acecatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/level31-1024x305.pnghttps://acecatech.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/level41-1-1024x402.png check out some of our other online APPs.

abbyode:very much possible. our corporate training are usually very short. what matters is covering the training hours |

Billyonaire:yeah ur are rigth dear. its only very few savvy tech guys can really make sense out of your posits. The building block of matter is electromagnetic in nature. The entire universe is saturated with electromagnetic radiation of various frequencies but current technology is too primitive to exploit and concentrate this free energy to a useful level. Another angle involves reducing the power consumption of electrical devices as you pointed out. I think this is another area that need to be improved in electrical systems designs but more importantly battery technology need the more attention. imagine a battery system that can be charged within the mili and micro V/A level! |
