The impact of the risk of build failure on energy consumption in additive manufacturing (2022)
Journal Article
Wang, H., Baumers, M., Basak, S., He, Y., & Ashcroft, I. (2022). The impact of the risk of build failure on energy consumption in additive manufacturing. Journal of Industrial Ecology, 26(5), 1771-1783. https://doi.org/10.1111/jiec.13318

Additive manufacturing (AM), also known as 3D printing, is associated with significant promise in the manufacturing sector. However, it has been shown that the risk of build failure has a substantial impact on the costs of AM and that this results fr...

Exploiting Generative Design for Multi-Material Inkjet 3D Printed Cell Instructive, Bacterial Biofilm Resistant Composites (2022)
Preprint / Working Paper
he, Y., Begines, B., Trindade, G., Abdi, M., dubern, J., Prina, E., …Wildman, R. Exploiting Generative Design for Multi-Material Inkjet 3D Printed Cell Instructive, Bacterial Biofilm Resistant Composites

As our understanding of disease grows, it is becoming established that treatment needs to be personalized and targeted to the needs of the individual. In this paper we show that multi-material inkjet-based 3D printing, when backed with generative des...

On the thermomechanical aging of LPBF alloy 718 (2022)
Journal Article
Sanchez, S., Gaspard, G., Hyde, C. J., Ashcroft, I. A., Ravi, G. A., & Clare, A. T. (2022). On the thermomechanical aging of LPBF alloy 718. Materials Science and Engineering: A, 841, Article 142998. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.msea.2022.142998

Heat treatment of products post additive manufacture are considered hugely important since the metallurgical condition post process is suboptimal. In the case of nickel-based superalloys, grain size, precipitate distribution and precipitate size are... Read More about On the thermomechanical aging of LPBF alloy 718.

Continuous fibre composite 3D printing with pultruded carbon/PA6 commingled fibres: Processing and mechanical properties (2022)
Journal Article
