Ink-jet 3D printing as a strategy for developing bespoke non-eluting biofilm resistant medical devices (2021)
Journal Article
He, Y., Luckett, J., Begines, B., Dubern, J. F., Hook, A. L., Prina, E., …Wildman, R. D. (2022). Ink-jet 3D printing as a strategy for developing bespoke non-eluting biofilm resistant medical devices. Biomaterials, 281, Article 121350. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biomaterials.2021.121350

Chronic infection as a result of bacterial biofilm formation on implanted medical devices is a major global healthcare problem requiring new biocompatible, biofilm-resistant materials. Here we demonstrate how bespoke devices can be manufactured throu... Read More about Ink-jet 3D printing as a strategy for developing bespoke non-eluting biofilm resistant medical devices.

FLatt Pack: A research-focussed lattice design program (2021)
Journal Article
Maskery, I., Parry, L. A., Padrão, D., Hague, R., & Ashcroft, I. A. (2022). FLatt Pack: A research-focussed lattice design program. Additive Manufacturing, 49, Article 102510. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.addma.2021.102510

Lattice structures are an important aspect of design for additive manufacturing (DfAM). They enable significant component light-weighting and the tailoring of a wide range of physical responses; mechanical, thermal, acoustic, etc. In turn, lattice de...

The interaction of volatile metal coatings during the laser powder bed fusion of copper (2021)
Journal Article
Speidel, A., Wadge, M. D., Gargalis, L., Cooper, T. P., Reynolds, W., Grant, D., …Murray, J. W. (2022). The interaction of volatile metal coatings during the laser powder bed fusion of copper. Journal of Materials Processing Technology, 299, Article 117332. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jmatprotec.2021.117332

The high optical reflectance of Cu at near-infrared wavelengths narrows the process window to fabricate Cu parts by laser powder bed fusion (LPBF). Coating powders with optically absorptive materials has been investigated to improve processability an...

Process-structure-property relationships in laser powder bed fusion of permanent magnetic Nd-Fe-B (2021)
Journal Article
Wu, J., Aboulkhair, N. T., Degano, M., Ashcroft, I., & Hague, R. J. (2021). Process-structure-property relationships in laser powder bed fusion of permanent magnetic Nd-Fe-B. Materials and Design, 209, Article 109992. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.matdes.2021.109992

Laser powder-bed fusion (L-PBF), as an additive manufacturing (AM) technique, has demonstrated excellent capabilities in achieving degrees of freedom in manufacturing that are otherwise unattainable. The potential of combining Nd-Fe-B as a permanent... Read More about Process-structure-property relationships in laser powder bed fusion of permanent magnetic Nd-Fe-B.
