Knol, M.F. (author)Selective Laser Melting (SLM) is a 3D-printing method to produce metal parts. In SLM a part is manufactured layer-by-layer by selectively melting a metal powder with a laser. Although SLM is a promising process for the production of high-quality parts, the implementation in high-tech industry is held back by a few barriers. One of the main...master thesis 2016

Bots, M.J. (author)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...master thesis 2017

Vella Bamber, Tomas (author)This project focuses on enhancing the accessibility of 3D printing for repairers by designing a system in which repairers can collaborate with makers. Repair has become rare in societies with an abundance of cheap goods. However in recent years repair is making a gradual comeback in western culture. Citizen repair initiatives such as Repair...master thesis 2020

Ertman, Katharina (author)To create a more sustainable future for aviation, new, lighter-weight structures and materials will need to be engineered. It will also be critical that damage tolerance and safety are not compromised in the process. Lattice materials represents one avenue of exploration; however, two key challenges arise: limited experimental work has been...master thesis 2020
