Towards multi-functional behavior of metal lattice structures produced by hybrid laser based additive and subtractive manufacturing techniques KU Leuven
Additive Manufacturing (AM) has significantly increased the potential of metal lattice structures (MLS). For structural applications, first steps are being made to investigate the use of AM-MLS for weight reduction, and for improving and tuning mechanical characteristics such as stiffness, energy absorption, impact resistance, damping or fatigue performance. Multi-functional MLS designed to perform well in several of these areas are at ...

Towards the Next Generation Fast and Energy Efficient Arc-Resistance Hybrid Additive Manufacturing (ARHAM). KU Leuven
Current metal additive manufacturing (AM) involves a large amount of energy in the manufacture of feedstock powders or wires and then globally melt them to create the near-net shapes. Concurrently, sheet lamination AM techniques minimize energy use on the cost of strength or scalability. The proposed research is a step in the direction of the metal AM parts with the desired strength and with sufficient low lead time and energy consumption, ...

Development of innovative 3-D neuronal scaffolds and related additive manufacturing technology for multi-material / multi-functional printing. KU Leuven
Neurodegenerative states pose a significant challenge in modern medicine, affecting over 55 million individuals, and with an estimated global cost of 2$ trillion by 2030. Despite scientific advancements, the intricate interactions between neuronal cells and their environment are not yet fully understood. Stem cell-based in vitro research holds promise in overcoming ethical and physical limitations of in vivo studies. However, the reproduction ...

Development of a biodegradable bone graft for maxillofacial reconstruction through additive manufacturing Ghent University
Maxillofacial defects, caused for instance by traffic accidents or tumor resection, have dramatic consequences for a patient’s quality of life. Besides fulfilling structural and cosmetic functions, bone grafts strongly improve the psychological condition of patients. However, the current gold standards for maxillofacial reconstruction (i.e. autologous and titanium bone grafts) remain suboptimal with limited vascularization and infections ...
