Additive manufacturing (AM) has emerged as a powerful tool of manufacturing over conventional manufacturing techniques due to its customization features, design flexibility, waste minimization and ability to create intrinsic shapes. This technology involves the fabrication of parts by layer-by-layer printing and thus offers robust mechanical proper...

Wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) has been investigated to deposit large-scale metal parts due to its high deposition efficiency and low material cost. However, in the process of automatically manufacturing the high-quality metal parts by WAAM, several problems about the heat build-up, the deposit-path optimization, and the stability of the pr...

The load-induced dry-sliding wear behavior of alpha titanium (Ti) with low amount of boron ( 10 N), untreated samples experienced weight loss of the steel counterface balls and severe plastic deformation with the formation and onset delamination of mechanically mixed layers (MML). Comparatively, shot-peened samples exhibited limited changes in wear...

To evaluate the color stability of CAD/CAM complete denture resins. A total of 176 resin specimens were manufactured from conventional heat-polymerizing (pink: CONHCP : n = 16; tooth-shade: CONHCT : n = 16), CAD/CAM subtractively manufactured (pink: WIMP : n = 16, AVMP : n = 16, MEMP : n = 16, POMP : n = 16; tooth-shade: AVMT : n = 16, MEMT : n = 1...

Introduction: Surgical treatment of displaced acromial and scapula spine fractures may be challenging due to the bony anatomy and variable fracture patterns. This difficulty is accentuated by the limitations of the available scapular plates for fracture fixation. This study compares the quantitative fitting of anatomic scapular plates and clavicle ...

Retinal vein occlusion (RVO) is a differential diagnosis for Coats' disease due to retinal arterial Leber's aneurysms. Occasionally, RVO shows a Coats-like appearance. The differential diagnosis between Coats' disease and RVO is essential for clinical therapy, especially for those obsolete RVOs with collateral vessels and without retinal hemorrhage...

Microwave breast hyperthermia is a class of cancer treatment, where breast temperature is elevated by a focused electromagnetic (EM) radiation to impair cancer cells. While the current mainstream in microwave breast hyperthermia is centered on bulky and rigid systems, wearable antennas would offer considerable benefits such as superior conformity t...

Surface biofunctionalization is frequently applied to enhance the functionality and longevity of orthopedic implants. Here, we investigated the osteogenic effects of additively manufactured porous Ti6Al4V implants whose surfaces were biofunctionalized using plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) in Ca/P-based electrolytes with or without strontium. Va...

The further development of future Magnesium based biodegradable implants must consider not only the freedom of design, but also comprise implant volume reduction, as both aspects are crucial for the development of higher functionalised implants, such as plate systems or scaffold grafts in bone replacement therapy. As conventional manufacturing meth...

Manufacturing Review
Additive manufacturing (AM), is one of the key components of the 4th industrial revolution. Polymer laser sintering (PLS) is a subset of AM that is commonly used to process polymers, and which achieves good surface finish, good mechanical properties of finished products and for which there is no need for support structures. However, the requirement...
