The working hypothesis for this research project is that it is possible to develop a new functional polymer printing process for the direct application of conductive polymer onto textiles. We will use the basic extrusion technology that is currently applied in 3D printing. Thus the aim is also expanding …

Het boek ‘3D Printing with biomaterials’ introduceert een manier om een duurzame en circulaire economie te realiseren; 3D printen gecombineerd met het gebruik van biomaterialen.

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 …
