This guide takes the reader through the 3D Printing for Repair (3DP4R) process. It consists of guidelines and tools to create a 3D printable version of spare parts needed for a product repair. 3D printing a spare part is more than just printing the original part. Instead, it is an iterative process in which the part is analysed, redesigned,...

The circular economy offers an alternative to the linear economy (also called the take-make-use-waste society) we live in. It puts emphasis on using resources effectively by slowing and closing resources loops. Design is seen as enabler in a circular economy. Design decisions taken now have an impact on the recovery of products in the future....

The present project is about making the toilet more water efficient. Standard toilets use 15 times more drinking water per day than a human does. The proposed concept is a toilet based on the waste separation principle. Considering that each type of human waste requires different amount of water to be flushed away, the new toilet adapts to male...
