DESIGN AND PRODUCTION OF EYE PROSTHESIS USING 3D PRINTING

Design Optimization Strategy for Multifunctional 3D Printing

An optimization based design methodology for the additive manufacture of multifunctional parts (for example, a structure with embedded electronic/electrical systems and associated conductive paths) is presented. This work introduces a coupled optimization strategy where Topology Optimization (TO) is combined with an automated placement and routing approach that enables determination of an effic...

Design and Fabrication of Biodegradable Drug-Eluting Devices Using the 3D Printing Technique Continuous Liquid Interface Production (CLIP)

Sculplexity: Sculptures of Complexity using 3D printing

We show how to convert models of complex systems such as 2D cellular automata into a 3D printed object. Our method takes into account the limitations inherent to 3D printing processes and materials. Our approach automates the greater part of this task, bypassing the use of CAD software and the need for manual design. As a proof of concept, a physical object representing a modified forest fire m...

Computational Aspects of Fabrication: Modeling, Design, and 3D Printing

The digital age in manufacturing is giving rise to output devices that allow rapid customization and manufacturing, revolutionizing how we design, develop, fabricate, distribute, and consume products. 3D printing is considered a disruptive technology with a potentially tremendous socioeconomic impact. In recent years, 3Dprinting technologies have progressed significantly in terms of sophisticat...

Freeform fabrication of nanobiomaterials using 3D printing

Nanobiomaterials play an important role in nanobiotechnology and have made a great contribution to biomedical research and healthcare. Recent progress in nanobiomaterials has increased demand for multidisciplinary approaches from physical, biological and engineering sciences. Solid freeform fabrication (SFF) technologies are based on layer-by-layer deposition of materials which bring about new ...
