Laureijs, Noortje (author)This thesis investigates novel foaming materials for fused deposition modelling (FDM) which have been introduced in 2019. The materials are able to foam by the addition of foaming agents. Foaming materials for FDM printing can be advantageous since they can create lightweight models, and have good impact strength and toughness in relation to...master thesis 2023

Wang, W. (author)Nowadays lots of smart materials have been developed and are looking for meaningful applications that would benefit people’s life in the future. These emerging materials need to be materialised and realized through the manufacturing process. On the other hand, looking at the trend of manufacturing, the development of additive manufacturing has...master thesis 2017

Heij, W.J. (author)Additive manufacturing (AM) is a manufacturing method with two distinct advantages over traditional subtractive methods. First, it allows for much higher form freedom, allowing for shapes that are unobtainable by conventional techniques. Second, this method is also referred to 'rapid prototyping' given the fact that objects, and mainly prototype...master thesis 2016
