  • Paste Deposition Modelling, Deconstructing the Additive Manufacturing Process: Development of Novel Multi- Material Tools and Techniques for Craft Practitioners
    PASTE DEPOSITION MODELLING, DECONSTRUCTING THE ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING PROCESS: DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL MULTI- MATERIAL TOOLS AND TECHNIQUES FOR CRAFT PRACTITIONERS A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Esteban Schunemann Department of Engineering and Design, Brunel University London 2015 ii I. Abstract A novel paste deposition process was developed to widen the range of possible materials and applications. This experimental process developed an increasingly complex series of additive manufacturing machines, resulting in new combinations of novel materials and deposition paths without sacrificing many of the design freedoms inherit in the craft process. The investigation made use of open-source software together with an approach to programming user originated infill geometries to form structural parts, differing from the somewhat automated processing by 'closed' commercial RP systems. A series of experimental trials were conducted to test a range of candidate materials and machines which might be suitable for the PDM process. The combination of process and materials were trailed and validated using a series of themed case studies including medical, food industry and jewellery. Some of the object created great interest and even, in the case of the jewellery items, won awards. Further evidence of the commercial validity was evidenced through a collaborative partnership resulting in the development of a commercial version of the experimental system called Newton3D. A number of exciting potential future directions having been opened up by this project including silicone fabrics, bio material deposition and inclusive software development for user originated infills and structures. iii II.

The year 2017 will present a pivotal moment for the global community. The threat of a less cooperative, more inward-looking world also creates the opportunity to address global risks and the trends that drive them. This will require responsive and responsible leadership with a deeper commitment to inclusive development and equitable growth, both nationally and globally.

HP aims to play a prominent role in this evolution with its Multi Jet Fusion and Metal Jet 3D printing technologies, both of which are designed for large batch production. Startups like Evolve Additive and Origin are using their own technologies for 3D printing large runs of plastic parts. Most companies working toward mass metal manufacturing, including HP, have developed binder jet platforms for mass printing parts. Boston-based Digital Alloys has a novel approach to fusing metal parts called Joule Printing.

Aslam Hossain 1,* , Altynay Zhumabekova 1, Suvash Chandra Paul 2 and Jong Ryeol Kim 1,* 1 Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Nazarbayev University, Nur-Sultan 010000, Kazakhstan; [email protected] 2 Department of Civil Engineering, International University of Business Agriculture and Technology, Dhaka 1230, Bangladesh; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] (M.A.H.); [email protected] (J.R.K.); Tel.: +7-7172-709123 (M.A.H.); +7-7172-70-9136 (J.R.K.) Received: 7 September 2020; Accepted: 25 September 2020; Published: 15 October 2020 Abstract: Construction industry is very labor-intensive and one of the major sources of employment in the world. The industry is experiencing low productivity with minimum technological innovations for decades. In recent times, various automation technologies including 3D printing have received increasing interests in construction. 3D printing in construction is found to be very promising to automate the construction processes and have the potential of saving laborious work, material waste, construction time, risky operation for humans, etc. There has been a comprehensive body of research conducted to understand the recent advances, future prospects and challenges of large-scale adoption of 3D printing in construction projects. Being one the labor-intensive industries, this study also investigates the possible impact on the labor market with increasing adoption of 3D printing in construction. It is found that 3D printing can reduce significant number of labors which can solve the labor shortage problem, especially for the countries where construction is heavily dependent on immigrant workers.

  • Live Software for Reprap Assembly Workshops
    Torbjørn Ludvigsen Live Software For RepRap Assembly Workshops MASTER'STHESIS SUPERVISOR:MARCINJAKUBOWSKI EXAMINER:MARTINROSVALL DEPARTMENTOFPHYSICS UME AUNIVERSITY˚ This document was compiled on June 16, 2016. Status: Defended and approved This work is licensed under a Attribution 4.0 International licence. Copyright © 2016 Torbjørn Ludvigsen Abstract A key step when initiating robot powered production is setting up the control software. This can be a threshold for operators, especially if the software is fragmented and system requirements are extensive. One way to address this is to pre-configure all the control programs and bundle them with a system that fulfills all the requirements. In this work a live Operating System (OS) is loaded with control software and configured to meet the needs of those who have just as- sembled their first 3D printer. The problem of downloading, configuring and installing various 3D printer controlling programs is reduced to the problem of distributing and booting the live OS. The solution of loading it onto bootable USB drives is tested and evaluated in the context of a commercial RepRap Assembly Workshop (RAW), an event where people pay for RepRap 3D printer parts as well as assembly and usage supervision. The RAW is unusually short, so the bootable USB drives' potential to help RAW hosts with particularly tight time schemes is tested. The results show a limited success. The USB drive is documented not to work for 3 participant groups out of a total of 11 groups. As a solution to fragmented software and diverse system requirements, the live OS is found to work well once booted.

I must also thank Albert C. and Juan Carlos C. for guiding me in the steps prior to this work, and Oscar G. a key person who was present in the two most difficult decisions of my life and with whom I share many "laws of life". At the same time, getting here would not have been possible without the support, of course, of my parents and brother, partakers of my evolution as a person and accomplices of my journey as a child and young student. To the rest of my family, grandparents and uncles, thank you also for showing your interest in my work ... a special thanks to you Esther, today's work is dedicated to your person, thank you for all you have done for me during all this time. Before concluding, I also wanted to thank the entire Telegram 3D printing community for helping me in times of despair and guiding me in my conspiracy theories. In particular, to Javi D. and Alberto’s for sharing more than just a conversation about doubts and printers. Finally, I did not want to leave Paula's parents for helping me with the construction of the 3D printer, and my dear Paula..
