Embracing additive manufacture: implications for foot and ankle orthosis design

BACKGROUND The design of foot and ankle orthoses is currently limited by the methods used to fabricate the devices, particularly in terms of geometric freedom and potential to include innovative new features. Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies, where objects are constructed via a series of sub-millimetre layers of a substrate material, may present the opportunity to overcome these limitat...

Fabricating Superior NiAl Bronze Components through Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing

Cast nickel aluminum bronze (NAB) alloy is widely used for large engineering components in marine applications due to its excellent mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Casting porosity, as well as coarse microstructure, however, are accompanied by a decrease in mechanical properties of cast NAB components. Although heat treatment, friction stir processing, and fusion welding were im...

Design for Manufacture and Assembly

Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) technique has been utilized extensively in industry field these days. This paper is a detailed review which will discuss the development history of DFMA, compare some other “DFMA-like” theories, and good stories about the successful implementations of DFMA in real-word product design. 1. DFMA and its development history 1.1 Traditional design paradigm ...

Additive Manufacture of Tissue Engineering Scaffolds for Bone and Cartilage

her willingness to meet with me and for her expert feedback. Jeannette Yen have also been very insightful and provided me with invaluable direction during the proposal of my work. I would also like to thank my fellow past and present lab members: Dr. Lastly, I would like to thank my dear fiancée Deena for her love and support during the last part of my PhD. It was her love and kindness that kep...
