Within BAM Infra (Netherlands) there is a 3D concrete printing facility already. This is the Europe's first commercial and industrial production location for 3D printing of concrete elements for bridges. The idea now for BAM (International) is to also include composite materials in the design of temporary …

Many articles have been published on scale-down concepts as well as additive manufacturing techniques. However, information is scarce when miniaturization and 3D printing are applied in the fabrication of bioreactor systems. Therefore, garnering information for the interfaces between miniaturization …

Peak oxygen uptake (V'O2peak) is recognised as the best expression of aerobic fitness. Therefore, it is essential that V'O2peak reference values are accurate for interpreting a cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET). These values are country specific and influenced by underlying biological ageing processes. …

3D-metaalprinten is een relatief nieuwe Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologie die grote kansen biedt voor de maakindustrie. De investeringsdrempel is voor de meeste 3D-metaalprinttechnieken echter hoog en de benodigde expertise niet aanwezig in bedrijven en instellingen. De toepassing van deze technologie …

In order to increase feed quality, additive has been used to increase silage storage stability. During feeding time, the silage is exposed to oxygen and a degrading process starts decreasing dry matter and increasing temperature. This rise in temperature makes the silage less appetising to cows, few …

This paper describes the results of a second year Expo project team of Fontys Engineering, department Mechanical Engineering. During this research the design of a configurable damped spring design has been investigated. A calculation tool has been defined and validated using a Nylon 3D printed spring …

De lucht- en ruimtevaartbranche is continu bezig met innovatie. Door producten slimmer te ontwerpen kan gewicht worden bespaard. Minder gewicht betekent in deze branche dat er minder brandstof nodig is voor de vliegtuigen. Met 3D printen is het mogelijk om bestaande producten op een nieuwe en lichtere …

De hoofdvraag van dit onderzoek is als volgt: Wat is de toepassing van 3D printen in een spuitgietmatrijs? Om deze vraag te beantwoorden, dienen de volgende deelvragen beantwoord te worden: Welke delen zouden met 3D pinten vervaardigd kunnen worden Productvormende delen zijn een geschikte kandidaat …

Over the past decades, Inconel 718 and titanium 6Al4V have established their roles as prefered material in the gas turbine industry. Production of complex parts with these alloys using conventional production however is time consuming and expensive. With AM fabrication of metals developing fast, the …

The additive manufacturing (AM) of high-quality products requires knowledge of the 3D-printing process and the related design guidelines. Allthough AM has been around for some years, many engineers still lack this knowledge. Therefore, Fontys University of Applied Sciences sets great store by training …
