Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are biodegradable biopolymers (polyesters), produced by a wide range of bacterial strains. They are gaining increasing interest in different research fields, due to their sustainability and environmental-friendly properties. Additionally, PHAs are also biocompatible, which …

This is the first draft of the large scale 3d printing protocol for granulated thermoplastics. The main purpose of this document is to share the key steps of operating, preparation, data entry, and optimization procedures while handling the robotic 3d printing equipment. One main aspect of this protocol …

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 …

The Design-to-Robotic-Production and -Assembly (D2RP&A) process developed at Delft University of Technology (DUT) has been scaled up to building size by prototyping of-site a 3.30 m high fragment of a larger spaceframe structure The fragment consists of wooden linear elements connected to a polymer node …

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 …

Het lectoraat Design methoden in Food richt zich primair op: - het stimuleren van het gebruik en toepassen van design methoden - het gemakkelijk maken van het gebruik en toepassen van design methoden Het doel van het lectoraat is om zo veel mogelijk agro-food innovaties te ontwerpen die ook gericht zijn …

Currently the advances in the field of 3D printing are causing a revolution in the (bio-)medical field. With applications ranging from patient-specific anatomical models for surgical preparation to prosthetic limbs and even scaffolds for tissue engineering, the possibilities seem endless. Today, the …

Volgens recente nieuwsberichten en uit eigen ervaring lijkt een toenemend aantal jongvolwassenen last te hebben van stress met overspanningsverschijnselen als gevolg. Dit document gaat dieper in op dit onderwerp en onderzoekt de omvang van deze situatie. Om dit probleem tegen te gaan is het noodzakelijk …

The global industrial economy is still predominantly linear, working according to the take-make-waste principle. This has affected the planet to a concerning amount, which is why the European Union signed the Paris Agreement, committing to a 1,5 to 2 degree scenario of global warming. In order to achieve …
