Creative 3D printing (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Walters, P., & Davies, K. (2012, September). Creative 3D printing. Presented at Pervasive Media Studio Lunchtime Talks, Pervasive Media Studio, Watershed, Bristol

Peter Walters was invited to present recent results of cutting edge research in 3D printing at the Pervasive Media Studio, Watershed, Bristol. In 3D printing, physical objects are created by a computer-controlled fabrication process. Recent proje... Read More about Creative 3D printing.

Design of a deployable structure with shape memory polymers (2012)
Presentation / Conference
Rossiter, J., Scarpa, F., Takashima, K., & Walters, P. (2012, March). Design of a deployable structure with shape memory polymers. Paper presented at Smart Structures: The conference for Smart Sensors, NDE, Aerospace Systems, Energy Harvesting, EAP, and More, San Diego, California, USA

Auxetic (negative Poisson’s ratio) configurations have been used recently to build prototypes of deployable structures using classical shape memory alloys (Nickel-Titanium-Copper). Chiral configurations, featuring three or more inter-connected spiral... Read More about Design of a deployable structure with shape memory polymers.
