Development of a biodegradable biopolymer from renewable natural resources suitable for additive manufacturing and bone tissue engineering
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)Bone tissue engineering scaffolds fabricated by additive manufacturing can offer an alternative treatment option to currently used bone graft methodologies. Chitosan, a biocompatible and biodegradable naturally derived ... -
Emissions of and exposure to hazardous chemical substances from selected additive manufacturing technologies
(North-West University (South-Africa), 2019)Background: Additive Manufacturing (AM) is the process of joining feedstock materials one layer at a time in order to produce objects from a three dimensional (3D) computer aided design (CAD). Powder bed fusion (PBF) and ... -
Framework for effective additive manufacturing education at South African Universities
(North-West University (South Africa), 2019)Additive Manufacturing (AM) which is also known as 3D printing technology; is a process by which digital 3-dimensional data is used to build up components or parts layer upon layer by depositing material. Additive manufacturing ... -
Respiratory exposure to hazardous chemical substances during additive manufacturing using nylon and alumide
(North-West University (South-Africa), 2019)Background: In the additive manufacturing (AM) industry there is very little information available regarding the area emission of and personal exposure to HCSs [particulates, metals and volatile organic compounds (VOCs)] ... -
Understanding customer preferences: comparing additive manufacturing powders (PA2200 & PA2221) in a South African context
(North-West University (South Africa), 2020)This study aims to determine the properties of polymer powders for laser sintering (LS) which are most desirable from a customer perspective. With multiple options of imported material being available, it is possible to ...
