Modelling the influence of UV curing strategies for optimisation of inkjet based 3D printing (2021)
Journal Article

A predictive model is developed to assist in the design and manufacture of structures by inkjet based 3D printing (IJ3DP)/additive manufacturing. IJ3DP often exploits photopolymerisation to rapidly convert a photoreactive liquid ink into a solid prod...

A framework for differentiation in composed digital-physical products (2020)
Journal Article

Product-service systems (PSS) composed of physical products and digital services are emerging as an important new product category. In this paper we suggest that the established metaphor of 'layering' is insufficient to capture the diverse ways in wh...

Using total specific cost indices to compare the cost performance of additive manufacturing for the medical devices domain (2018)
Journal Article

The label additive manufacturing, also known as three-dimensional printing, serves as an umbrella term for a number of technologies designed to deposit product geometries directly from build materials and digital design information. However, as a rel... Read More about Using total specific cost indices to compare the cost performance of additive manufacturing for the medical devices domain.

To kit or not to kit: analysing the value of model-based kitting for additive manufacturing (2018)
Journal Article

The use of additive manufacturing (AM) for the production of functional parts is increasing. Thus, AM based practices that can reduce supply chain costs gain in importance. We take a forward-looking approach and study how AM can be used more effectiv... Read More about To kit or not to kit: analysing the value of model-based kitting for additive manufacturing.

Unlocking value for a circular economy through 3D printing: a research agenda (2016)
Journal Article

The circular economy (CE) aims to radically improve resource efficiency by eliminating the concept of waste and leading to a shift away from the linear take-make-waste model. In a CE, resources are flowing in a circular manner either in a biocycle (b... Read More about Unlocking value for a circular economy through 3D printing: a research agenda.

Shape complexity and process energy consumption in electron beam melting: a case of something for nothing in additive manufacturing? (2016)
Journal Article

Additive manufacturing (AM) technology is capable of building up component geometry in a layer-by-layer process, entirely without tools, molds, or dies.
