While Additive Manufacturing is famed for its ability to create complex geometries, sustainability of the technologies is given less attention. Due to the need to melt filament and heat up the printbed, FDM requires a considerable amount of energy. On top of that, valuable and non-renewable resources are used for the production of the commonly...

In recent times, there has been a growing interest in spending extended amounts of time in outer space. To enable these endeavors, living and storage spaces will have to be much larger than current technologies can transport and set up in space. An interesting solution to this problem is the usage of a deployable structure that occupies a small...

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...

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...

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...
