Abstract: A flowable liquid formulation for 3D printing is described. The formulation comprises from 0.1 to 25 wt. % radiopaque particles, wherein at least 50% by weight of the particles have a diameter of at most 100 nm. The formulation further comprises monomeric, oligomeric and/or polymeric precursors adapted for polymerization to form a solidified article. Also described is an article (100) formed by 3D printing, the article (100) comprising a first 3D printed region (110) having a first radiopacity and a second 3D printed region (120) having a second radiopacity, wherein the first radiopacity is greater than the second radiopacity. Also described is a method of forming the article (100).

Abstract: A system and method for implementing a cloud communication apparatus within an appliance. The cloud communication apparatus may communicate with a remote server and transmit thereto data associated with the appliance. The cloud communication apparatus may also receive instructions from the remote server for executing various functions of the appliance. The system and method as provided herein provides a method for a user to safely install and efficiently provide power to the cloud communication apparatus, while reducing the complexity of maintaining and otherwise running the appliance.
