Novel use of robotic 3D paste printing technology for the creation of ceramic shell investment casting moulds (2023)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

This paper presentation outlines early-stage, ongoing research into novel approaches with Additive Layer Manufacturing for the direct manufacture of ceramic shell investment casting moulds. The research is focused on the use of 3D printing with refra... Read More about Novel use of robotic 3D paste printing technology for the creation of ceramic shell investment casting moulds.

Re-articulating the role of process design to support mass customisation: The case of rapid manufactured custom-made fixtures (2009)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Whilst the fulfilment of customised production affects the whole product realisation chain involving product design, process design and supply chain design, our assessment of the literature observes comparatively little attention has been given to pr...

Compressive behaviour of a square origami surface-based lattice structure fabricated by selective laser melting
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Selective laser melting (SLM) is a metal additive manufacturing process that shows significant advantages in manufacturing lattice structures. In this paper, a novel surface-based square origami structure made of a nickel-based superalloy was fabrica...

The effect of heat treatment of AlSi10Mg on the energy absorption performance of surface-based structures
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Additive Manufacturing of cellular lattice structures offers opportunities to fine-tune the mechanical response by altering geometric variables. It is known that heat treatment cycles provide an effective way of altering mechanical properties while r...

Feasibility of using Duraform® flex lattice structures and additive manufacturing for optimising bicycle helmet design safety
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Bicycle helmets are designed to attenuate forces and accelerations experienced by the head during cycling accidents. An essential element of bicycle helmet design is, therefore, the appropriate manufacturing of energy dissipating components. The focu...
