Soft robots are, due to their softness, inherently safe and adapt well to unstructured
environments. However, they are prone to various damage types. Self‐healing polymers …

This chapter outlines three methods for cutting mPOFs as well as giving details of
techniques that have been used to characterise mPOFs through accurate imaging of their …

Fabrication of steel molds is a major expense (time and cost) in ceramic injection molding
research and development. 3D printed resin molds for fast prototyping are therefore highly …

Moulding refers to a set of manufacturing techniques in which a mould, usually a cavity or a
solid frame, is used to shape a liquid or pliable material into an object of the desired shape …

This paper proposes an additive manufacturing method that combines fused filament
fabrication (FFF) 3D printing and an electroforming technology to fabricate multi-material …

Thermoplastics are increasingly being used in biomedical, automotive and electronics
industries due to their excellent physical and chemical properties. Due to the localized and …

Multi-material compliant mechanisms enable many new design possibilities. Significant
progress has been made in the area of design and analysis of multi-material compliant …

We performed an experimental study to manufacture flax fiber textile reinforced
thermoplastic composites by direct impregnation method in a closed mold. To reduce the …

Reducing energy consumption is an important issue for green manufacturing. In this paper,
the specific energy consumption (SEC) of the injection molding process is analyzed. Results …

This study contributes to a possibility of evaluating composite structures configuration such
as steel and concrete using buckling and volume constraints based on multi-material …
