Lomiko's Graphene 3D Lab Files Patent for Multiple Material Printer
Filament
VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA and NEW YORK, NEW YORK--(Marketwired
- Jan 20, 2014) - LOMIKO METALS INC.
(TSX-VENTURE:LMR)(PINKSHEETS:LMRMF)(FRANKFURT:DH8B) (Europe: ISIN:
CA54163Q1028, WKN: A0Q9W7) (the "Company") announces Graphene 3D
Lab has reached a significant milestone by filing a provisional
patent application for the use of graphene-enhanced material, along
with other materials, in 3D Printing (Additive Manufacturing).
"This patent application is the result of a diligent effort on
behalf of our team. It opens up a clear path toward the
commercialization of graphene," stated Daniel Stolyarov, Graphene
3D Labs' CEO. "It is important that our proprietary technology is
accepted by consumers in this market and that we find a method of
creating graphene-infused filaments of outstanding quality at a
reasonable cost. We rely on high quality graphite from Lomiko's
Quatre Milles Property as the base material for producing graphene
nanoplatelets, due to their cost and consistency in quality."
"Lomiko will provide graphite to Graphene 3D Lab as the
exclusive supplier," stated Paul Gill, CEO of Lomiko Metals. "Novel
materials based on graphene open new markets for natural graphite;
these new markets are expanding at an extraordinary rate. We are
happy to participate in the development of this disruptive
technology."
On September 17, 2013, Lomiko and Graphene Labs reported that in
the first step of the conversion process of graphite to graphene,
natural graphite flakes were oxidized and turned into Graphene
Oxide ("GO") by a modified Hummer's method. The properties of
graphene, including its high conductivity, mechanical strength, and
high specific surface area, make it an ideal electrode
material.
3D printing -- or additive manufacturing -- is the process of
creating a three-dimensional, solid object from a digital file, of
virtually any shape. 3D printing is achieved using an additive
process, whereas successive layers of material are laid down and
create different shapes.
Adding graphene to polymers which are conventionally used in 3D
printing improves the properties of the polymer in many different
ways; it improves the polymers mechanical strength as well as its
electrical and thermal conductivity. The method described in the
provisional patent application allows consumers to use the polymer,
infused with graphene, together with conventional polymers in the
same printing process, thereby fabricating functional electronic
devices using 3D printing.
New developments in 3D printing will allow for the creation of
products with different components, such as printed electronic
circuits, sensors, or batteries to be manufactured. 3D Printing is
a new and promising manufacturing technology that has garnered much
interest, growing from uses in prototyping to everyday products.
Today, it is a billion dollar industry growing at a brisk pace.
