Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth. Replacing teeth is required, since neighboring teeth can move and reposition in undesired positions if there is an empty space. A dental implant consists of three parts, a dental prosthetic (crown), an abutment and the implant which is fixated in the bone. <br/><br/>Dental implants are placed...

Additive manufacturing allows material structuring, supporting the fabrication of multiple-level structures or metamaterials. Through the lens of classical stress reduction, nature’s cellular solid structures feature stress-homogenizing nodal topologies. Avian long bones are an example. Research into the mechanics of open cell cellular solids...

The project acts as a way to bring production back to the city as a part of everyday life in the year 2050, in a time when industry has become individualised as a result of the fourth industrial revolution. At the same time, additive manufacturing (3D-printing) makes it possible to produce just about anything; from shoes and textiles to...

This thesis focuses on the utilisation of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies for the production of accordions. The goal is to reduce the man hours required in the production and repair of the instrument. The client, Pigini Nederland, currently produces a small accordion for children and adults: the MiniMouse. This instrument is sold for...

In-space manufacturing proves more important now than ever. The capability of creating a sustainable manufacturing strategy for spare parts or tools would significantly improve both mass budget and costs. Therefore, additive manufacturing (3D printing) in space is seen as an enabler of future scenarios that explore beyond the current boundaries...

Currently the possibilities of sending humans to Mars are being developed. This ambitious and exciting goal demands a broad range of new technologies, innovations and a fresh view on current challenges we are facing on Earth. This also applies to the field of Architectural and Building Technology. <br/><br/>To start with, the need for building a...

Eventually either the oil and gas supply will be exhausted, or society will develop methods to rely completely on eco-friendly energy sources. What will then happen to the oil industry and their factories and structures? In this hypothetical situation, offshore drilling rigs, structures made of billions of euros worth of steel and concrete, will...

Acoustics have a significant impact on the usability of a space and is often overlooked during the design phase: problems are often discovered when a space is already taken into use. The indoor acoustic climate can be influenced by adding absorption material, however traditional materials do not offer precise solutions but have a more generic...

Massive acetabular bone defects are difficult to treat with the currently available implants. Advances in additive manufacturing create new design possibilities, which allow the production of patient specific implants. These endless possibilities will enable to tune the mechanical properties of porous implants and to distribute the loads in such...

Wire and Arc based Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) processes are novel technologies that are seen as promising candidates for fabricating complex 3-Dimensional large scale components. These processes offer avenues to locally tailor metallurgy of the melt pool and thus produce functionally and compositionally graded components for improved...

Brachytherapy is recommended in the treatment of cervical cancer. In case of a tumour extending lateral to the pelvic wall or more than 0.5 cm from the vaginal surface, current applicators are not sufficient to irradiate the target area. Therefore, the use of extra free-hand needles is required. Free-hand placement of interstitial needles is...

This master thesis investigates the effect of surface morphology of Selectively Laser Melted Ti-6Al-4V on fatigue performance. The literature study performed here iden- tifies roughness as one of three major causes for the decreased performance of the additive manufactured alloys (along side porosity and residual stresses). In order to eliminate...

For this thesis an additively manufactured(AM) glass connection was researched. The aim was to see if it was possible to use plastic based AM for end use parts in the façade. This was done in three parts, which are presented in this thesis. The first part consists of research in all currently available technology that could be used to create...

With the aging population growing, the increasing prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA) seems inevitable. As a result, the number of joint replacements is expected to grow substantially within the next decade. Today’s hip replacements have the potential to function for more than 20 years, but due to risk factors such as aseptic loosening, the...

This graduation project was started on the observation that most orthopaedic companies seem to be still far away from producing 3D printed sockets for customers. Research into manual and digital manufacturing methods resulted in an overview of the possibilities for integrating digital tools into the socket production process. Together with the...

Cellular solids are characteristically excellent energy absorbers due to their capacity to store large amounts of energy through compression. A bioinspired design approach identified the Pomelo fruit (Citrus Maximus) as a biological role model for energy absorption. Fruit peels’ biologically most important functions lies in the need to provide...

The Real-time City is a city on demand, shaped by customization over time. Inhabitants can shape the content of the city and their personal spaces according to their desires. As situations are continuously changing, the city has to update itself in real-time; analysing the given input, applying parameters and act upon these changing situations....

Optical systems in high precision equipment become increasingly more complex due to the raising number of optical mounts used for mounting and positioning of optical components. Additional, the installation of electronics and inert gas purging systems to protect the optics against the abrasive optical beam extends the amount of components in the...

This research paper is a TU Delft Master’s thesis for graduation track in the field of Building Technology. Its main theme, digital manufacturing of reinforced concrete structures, has already been studied/researched by many other enthusiasts; but they adopted approaches mainly based on the digital production of formworks or 3D printing of...

Additive Manufacturing technology has gained a significant amount of interest in both industry and academia in recent years. Current research, though, is still mainly focused on the printing of structural components. In the future there will be a need for smart materials to come to fully integrated components. These smart materials include...
