Additive Manufacturing (AM) is an innovative manufacturing process which offers near-net shape fabrication of complex components, directly from CAD models, without dies or substantial machining, resulting in a reduction in lead-time, waste, and cost. For example, the buy-to-fly …
Previous work has shown the potential to improve sprinting performance through adaptations to the bending stiffness of sprint shoes. In addition, it has been suggested that the bending stiffness need customising to the individual to achieve maximal performance. However, ambiguou…
Additive manufacturing (AM) offers a way to manufacture highly complex designs with potentially enhanced performance as it is free from many of the constraints associated with traditional manufacturing. However, current design and optimisation tools, which were developed much ea…
Over the 1980’s, the introduction of Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies has provided alternative methods for the fabrication of complex three-dimensional (3D) synthetic bone tissue implant scaffolds. However, implants are still unable to provide post surgery feedback. Impl…
Additive manufacturing technologies are enabling newfound degrees of geometrical complexity to be realised, particularly with regards to internal structures. All of these manufacturing technologies are dependant on their prior design in an appropriate electronic form, either by …
This research introduces a method to aid the design of products or parts to be made using Additive Manufacturing (AM), particularly the laser sintering (LS) system. The research began with a literature review that encompassed the subjects of design and AM and through this the ne…
Material extrusion based additive manufacturing (AM) technology, such as fused deposition modeling (FDM), is gaining popularity with the numerous 3D printers available worldwide. FDM technology is advancing from exclusively prototype construction to achieving production-grade qu…
Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) is one of the Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques, in which metal powders are used as feedstock. AM process enables the production of lightweight structures, design freedom in 3D printed parts, short cycle time, etc. AM made part properties are affecte…
This work presents a numerical framework for predicting selective laser melting processing of thermoelectric materials. The developed framework combines the steady and transient temperature field predictions of the analytical Eagar-Tsai model and a more detailed finite element m…
