Embedables is a new concept which invites every designer to start creating simple electronic products, without having to worry about how the electronic part of the product is going to come to life. While working on the CAD model of your product, choose the component you wish to use from the component library and simply drag and drop it at the...

The focus of this report is on a new strategy to decentralise manufacturing through 3D Printing by local 3D Print shops (3D printing businesses) and 3D Hubs. I've identified the steps to develop a network of 3D Print shops that can be used for 3D Hubs to partner with consumer brands. To build the network of 3D print shops, the strategy is to...

The starting point from this project was the plan of Leapfrog 3D Printers to start selling packages aiming on specific user groups. For this project the focus was on the architecture industry and the content of the package could become anything from adjustments to the printer to some sort of service. As a start, an analysis was performed on...

New 3D printing techniques enables companies to rapidly create high-quality and full-coloured objects. This allows them to create tangible objects to communicate ideas and concepts, instead of conventional flat 2D presentations.In order to explore what opportunities this innovation can provide, a deeper understanding of the impact of using...

Both experimental and numerical studies have shown that the crack-bridging is one of the most significant mechanism contributing to the fracture toughness of natural materials like nacre and bone. This study aims to explore if additive manufactured lattice structures can be used to bridge fatigue cracks as well, thereby improving the fracture...

3D Printing is an emerging manufacturing technology that is in a research and prototyping stage in the construction industry. This research presents a governance framework for construction projects in which large scale freeform 3D printing is applied, based on empirical data of 7 case studies. The observed governance in the case studies is a...

Access to prosthetics is very limited to many potential<br/>users, while the need is high. There are two main reasons<br/>for this that both are related to the production of prosthetics: the lack of skilled people and high costs. Minimized<br/>assembly production using 3D printing could be a solution: no training is required, assembly takes only...

In the following study, a new concept of an assistive hand exoskeleton device for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) patients is presented. Due to the nature of this disease (causes progressive muscle degeneration from a young age of five years old), the requirements for such a device are very demanding, with extreme space and weight limitations,...

This master thesis is the result of a graduation project for the Master Integrated Product Design at the TU Delft. The project was formulated as a continuation on research done by Mariet Sauerwein and Zjenja Doubrovski, in which they proved the potential of mussel shells as a material for material extrusion 3D printing. This with the aim of...

This thesis describes the research on design measures and new recycling methods to enable the recycling of 3D printed electronics. By looking into methods to release metals from polymer substrate and design interventions to enable predictable fracturing of 3D printed structures in a shredder, a step towards the recycling of valuable metals from...

People whose hands suffer from CMC Arthritis are prescribed a hand brace. For multiple reasons, these people are discouraged to wear them sufficiently. This project focusses on the aesthetics in these braces and their stigma. The result is a medical aid which is not perceived as a crutch but as a clothing accesory. By giving people who have been...

Additive manufacturing and 3D printing are rapidly developing digital fabrication techniques. After the first steps in printing of metals and plastics have been made, research from various groups around the world is now also focusing on printing in concrete and moving to larger scales. Using this technique it will be possible to create...

In the last decades, the improvement of innovative solutions on windows to achieve sustainability within the built environment is considered as a principal issue. Windows have long been used in buildings for daylight and ventilation. From many studies, health, comfort, and productivity are improved by the well-ventilated indoor environment,...

Prosthetic devices remain inaccessible for many amputees in low-income countries. The lack of trained professionals and resources to fit a prosthetic (interface) are principle reasons. The low cost at which additive manufacturing technology (AM) is able to produce a custom made part could change this. As such, the aim of this study was to design...

Additive manufacturing, popularly known as 3D printing, could positively change the fabrication of façade panels. Benefits include manufacturing each façade element uniquely without the use of a mould while having the potential of integrating functions as water drainage and solar shading within the object. Recycling polymers, obtained from...

In spite of the fact that there are many advantages of alkali activated materials (also called geopolymers) over the cement-based materials, geopolymer concrete has been used in the past for construction purposes on a very limited level. Among the many advantages of geopolymers compared with the cement-based materials is less CO2 emission, it...

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...

Research and development in additive manufacturing with concrete has become more widespread over the last decade. The processes developed range from concrete extrusion, to digital fabrication of formworks and the unification of formwork and reinforcement. Although they enable the production of increasingly material-efficient structures, the...
