Calis, Ilse (author)Fabricating custom-made ocular prostheses is currently a highly-skilled, labour-intense and non-reproducible process performed by an ocularist. Custom-fit prostheses are made from acrylic using a plaster mould, the iris is hand-painted, and veins are mimicked by adding red embroidery threads. Digital production techniques provide opportunities...master thesis 2022

de Vries, Sietse (author)Fused filament fabrication (FFF) is the most used additive manufacturing technique that uses a heated nozzle to melt a polymer and a feeder to extrude it on a buildplate. The dependencies of temperature, shear-rate, viscosity and pressure of the melt create complex dynamics within the nozzle, which causes inconsistent extrusion. To improve...master thesis 2022

de Winter, Jikke (author)Biosensing properties like mass, density and stiffness on a single cell level can help diagnose diseases. Mass sensing of cells and subcellular components is typically performed with resonant microstructures. Recently such microstructures were fabricated using an emerging 3D printing technique called two-photon polymerization (2PP) contrary to...master thesis 2022

Donders, Ennio (author)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...master thesis 2022

Bieling, Thijs (author)Evaporation can induce acoustic emissions in microfluidic devices. The origin of these emissions and their damping remains elusive. This thesis studies acoustic emissions from 3D printed microfluidic tubes mimicking xylem vessels in plants. We show the time and frequency domain signature of these emissions. From these signatures, we identify...master thesis 2022
