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...

The research investigates the creation of an end-effector capable of pick-and-placing thin laminates of various materials. The chosen end-effector design induces a pressure differential with a membrane, and is capable to achieve a large switching force for various delicate and geometric complex laminates. The concept utilizes an array of holes,...

Concrete is the most used building material in the world. Its success can be linked back to its mouldability, durability and low cost. Unfortunately, current conventional concrete pedestrian bridge designs do not benefit from these key features and still require bulky shaped cross-sections, whereby part of the concrete does not contribute to the...

When treating a Chronic Total Occlusion (CTO) via Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), a guidewire first needs to be passed through or around the occlusion, a task requiring considerable skill and clinician experience. Proper backup support for the guidewire being used by the clinician is a prerequisite to prevent buckling or uncontrolled...

Restoration of the normal mandibular form and function is attempted with reconstructive surgery. The current standard procedure to restore continuity defects of the mandible involves free tissue transfer with an autologous bone flap. Even though the success rates are high, several critical drawbacks have been associated with this procedure,...

<b>Background</b> Pneumatic actuators are widely used in applications like (medical) robots, or prosthetics. They require tight tolerances to keep them leakage-free. Over the last decade 3D-printing, or additive manufacturing, has emerged as a cost-effective production method in these applications.<br/><b>Objective</b> The goal of this research...

Topology optimization has seen increased interest with the development of additive manufacturing (AM) as a manufacturing method, because of its ability to utilize the geometric complexity that AM offers. However AM still imposes some restrictions on the design, most notably on its minimum feature size, overhang, and enclosed voids. Enclosed...

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...

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...
