Groenewoud, Annemiek (author)Massive acetabular bone defects are difficult to treat with the currently available implants. Advances in additive manufacturing create new design possibilities, which allow the production of patient specific implants. These endless possibilities will enable to tune the mechanical properties of porous implants and to distribute the loads in such...master thesis 2018

Sarakinioti, M.V. (author), Konstantinou, T. (author), Turrin, M. (author), Tenpierik, M.J. (author), Loonen, R.C.G.M. (author), de Klijn-Chevalerias, M.L. (author), Knaack, U. (author)Currently, several research projects investigate Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology as possible construction method for future buildings. AM methods have some advantages over other production processes, such as great freedom of form, shape complexity, scale and material use. These characteristics are relevant for façade applications, which...journal article 2018

Agnani, Milan (author)Wire and Arc based Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) processes are novel technologies that are seen as promising candidates for fabricating complex 3-Dimensional large scale components. These processes offer avenues to locally tailor metallurgy of the melt pool and thus produce functionally and compositionally graded components for improved...master thesis 2017

Laan, Rianne (author)Brachytherapy is recommended in the treatment of cervical cancer. In case of a tumour extending lateral to the pelvic wall or more than 0.5 cm from the vaginal surface, current applicators are not sufficient to irradiate the target area. Therefore, the use of extra free-hand needles is required. Free-hand placement of interstitial needles is...master thesis 2017

Cheylus, Thomas (author)This master thesis investigates the effect of surface morphology of Selectively Laser Melted Ti-6Al-4V on fatigue performance. The literature study performed here iden- tifies roughness as one of three major causes for the decreased performance of the additive manufactured alloys (along side porosity and residual stresses). In order to eliminate...master thesis 2017

Koenen, Willem (author)For this thesis an additively manufactured(AM) glass connection was researched. The aim was to see if it was possible to use plastic based AM for end use parts in the façade. This was done in three parts, which are presented in this thesis. The first part consists of research in all currently available technology that could be used to create...master thesis 2017

The rational design of meta-implants using a combination of auxetic and conventional microstructuresKolken, Eline (author)With the aging population growing, the increasing prevalence of osteoarthritis (OA) seems inevitable. As a result, the number of joint replacements is expected to grow substantially within the next decade. Today’s hip replacements have the potential to function for more than 20 years, but due to risk factors such as aseptic loosening, the...master thesis 2017

ten Cate, W.J.A. (author)This graduation project was started on the observation that most orthopaedic companies seem to be still far away from producing 3D printed sockets for customers. Research into manual and digital manufacturing methods resulted in an overview of the possibilities for integrating digital tools into the socket production process. Together with the...master thesis 2017

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

Thijssen, L. (author)The Real-time City is a city on demand, shaped by customization over time. Inhabitants can shape the content of the city and their personal spaces according to their desires. As situations are continuously changing, the city has to update itself in real-time; analysing the given input, applying parameters and act upon these changing situations....master thesis 2017

Smorenberg, P.G.J. (author)Optical systems in high precision equipment become increasingly more complex due to the raising number of optical mounts used for mounting and positioning of optical components. Additional, the installation of electronics and inert gas purging systems to protect the optics against the abrasive optical beam extends the amount of components in the...master thesis 2017

Bijani, Ali (author)This research paper is a TU Delft Master’s thesis for graduation track in the field of Building Technology. Its main theme, digital manufacturing of reinforced concrete structures, has already been studied/researched by many other enthusiasts; but they adopted approaches mainly based on the digital production of formworks or 3D printing of...master thesis 2017

(author), Weinans, Harrie (author), Zadpoor, A.A. (author), Amin Yavari, S. (author)Implant-associated infections are notoriously difficult to treat and may even result in amputation and death. The first few days after surgery are the most critical time to prevent those infections, preferably through full eradication of the micro-organisms entering the body perioperatively. That is particularly important for patients with a...journal article 2017

Zhang, X.Y. (author), Fang, G (author), Zhou, J. (author)Additive manufacturing (AM), nowadays commonly known as 3D printing, is a revolutionary materials processing technology, particularly suitable for the production of low-volume parts with high shape complexities and often with multiple functions. As such, it holds great promise for the fabrication of patient-specific implants. In recent years,...journal article 2017

Tselikos, G. (author)Additive Manufacturing technology has gained a significant amount of interest in both industry and academia in recent years. Current research, though, is still mainly focused on the printing of structural components. In the future there will be a need for smart materials to come to fully integrated components. These smart materials include...master thesis 2016

Gommer, B. (author)This research aims at improving the performance of Helmholtz resonators by adding resistance using additive manufacturing. Current use of Helmholtz resonators is focused on tonal applications and modal issues, because of the frequency specific behaviour. A normal Helmholtz resonator curve has a decreasing bandwidth when the peak increases. The...master thesis 2016
