Abstract:
Introduktion: Tredimensionell printing (3DP) är en teknik som använder en digital fil för att producera ett 3D-objekt, exempelvis en läkemedelstablett, genom en så kallad additiv process, vilket innebär att byggmaterialet läggs på successivt lager för lager. Syfte: Denna studie har ett tvådelat syfte, dels att presentera två 3D-printingstekniker, laserbaserade system (SLA) och smält deponeringsmodellering (FDM) som idag används för läkemedelsframställning samt göra en metodjämförelse, dels att ge exempel på samt beskriva några olika tabletter som framställts med hjälp av dessa tekniker. Metod: Studien genomfördes i form av en systematisk litteraturstudie och använde i första hand databasen PubMed för att hitta relevanta vetenskapliga artiklar i ämnet. Resultat: Resultatet redovisas i två delar. Första delen jämför de två viktiga 3DP-tekniker laserbaserade system (SLA) och smält deponeringsmodellering (FDM). Andra delen beskriver olika typer av tabletter som kan framställas med 3D-printing. Slutsats: Utifrån resultatet framgår det att 3D-printing är en framväxande teknik som skapar nya, intressanta terapimöjligheter. Dessutom framgår det att FDM lämpar sig bättre än SLA som framställningsteknik inom läkemedelsvärlden där det ställs höga krav på kostnadseffektivitet men också på grund av dess förmåga att generera formuleringar med olika frisättningsprofiler och på så sätt producera individanpassade läkemedel.

Abstract:
This project was initiated by Dr. Sasan Dadbaksh upon listening to the requirements I presented for my master thesis. My requirements were to do a master thesis project in the field of additive manufacturing specifically fused deposition modeling that should not only involve the research work but should also present an opportunity to develop hardware and should involve experimental testing. Then Sasan came up with the idea of developing a system capable to perform 3D printing with the extruder fixed in one position and the motion required for 3D printing will be provided by the robotic arm. The title of developing green build strategies for robot assisted plastic 3D printing came into being. The main concept behind the title of developing robot assisted plastic 3D printing platform is to develop such a system that can offer additive manufacturing services, specifically of fused deposition modeling 3D printing, as an inbound process during the manufacturing of any part through subtractive processes with the help of a robotic arm along with the repair of any kind of parts with the assistance of fused deposition modeling 3D printing. The main objectives of the master thesis include building a stationary filament extrusion module to interact with a robot hand and establishing a strategy for a robot hand to move the part to appropriate locations to complete building a part on a preform without support structures. The targets that were achieved with the completion of this thesis project includes the development of the complete hardware that consists of a mechanical structure with the option of mounting the components required to run the extrusion setup, learning the basic working of the software that are able to simulate the 3D printing process with the robotic arm (Robot Studio and Robo DK), creation of the simulation of the whole process, achieving communication between the robotic arm and the microcontroller of the extruder and finally the printing of a simple part for the demonstration. The components needed to be installed on the structure includes the motor, extruder, hot end, nozzle, filament. The structure also accumulated the required electronics that includes power supply, microcontroller, and an LCD to monitor the extrusion parameters. The developed machine runs on the state-of-the-art components that belong to the few of the best manufacturers of the technology.

Abstract:
Le but de cette étude est d’exploiter les fonctionnalités des nano-Composites Polymères Conducteurs (CPC) imprimés en utilisant la technologie FDM (modélisation par dépôt de monofilament en fusion) pour le développement de textiles fonctionnels et intelligents. L’impression 3D présente un fort potentiel pour la création d’une nouvelle classe de nanocomposites multifonctionnels. Par conséquent, le développement et la caractérisation des polymères et nanocomposites fonctionnels et imprimables en 3D sont nécessaires afin d’utiliser l’impression 3D comme nouveau procédé de dépôt de ces matériaux sur textiles. Cette technique introduira des procédés de fonctionnalisation de textiles plus flexibles, économes en ressources et très rentables, par rapport aux procédés d'impression conventionnels tels que la sérigraphie et le jet d'encre. L’objectif est de développer une méthode de production intégrée et sur mesure pour des textiles intelligents et fonctionnels, afin d’éviter toute utilisation d'eau, d'énergie et de produits chimiques inutiles et de minimiser les déchets dans le but d’améliorer l'empreinte écologique et la productivité. La contribution apportée par cette thèse consiste en la création et la caractérisation de filaments CPC imprimables en 3D, le dépôt de polymères et de nanocomposites sur des tissus et l’étude des performances en termes de fonctionnalité des couches de CPC imprimées en 3D. Dans un premier temps, nous avons créé des filaments de CPC imprimables en 3D, notamment des nanotubes de carbone à parois multiples (MWNT) et du noir de carbone à haute structure (Ketjenblack) (KB), incorporés dans de l'acide polylactique (PLA) à l'aide d'un procédé de mélange à l'état fondu. Les propriétés morphologiques, électriques, thermiques et mécaniques des filaments et des couches imprimées en 3D ont été étudiées. Deuxièmement, nous avons déposé les polymères et les nanocomposites sur des tissus à l’aide d’une impression 3D et étudié leur adhérence aux tissus. Enfin, les performances des couches de CPC imprimées en 3D ont été analysées sous tension et force de compression appliquées. La variation de la valeur de la résistance correspondant à la charge appliquée permet d’évaluer l'efficacité des couches imprimées en tant que capteur de pression / force. Les résultats ont montré que les nanocomposites à base de PLA, y compris MWNT et KB, sont imprimables en 3D. Les modifications des propriétés morphologiques, électriques, thermiques et mécaniques des nanocomposites avant et après l’impression 3D nous permettent de mieux comprendre l’optimisation du procédé. De plus, différentes variables du procédé d’impression 3D ont un effet significatif sur la force d'adhérence des polymères et des nanocomposites déposés sur les tissus. Nous avons également développé des modèles statistiques fiables associés à ces résultats valables uniquement pour le polymère et le tissu de l’étude. Enfin, les résultats démontrent que les mélanges PLA/MWNT et PLA/KB sont de bonnes matières premières piézorésistives pour l’impression 3D. Elles peuvent être potentiellement utilisées dans l’électronique portable, la robotique molle et la fabrication de prothèses, où une conception complexe, multidirectionnelle et personnalisable est nécessaire
The aim of this study is to get the benefit of functionalities of fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printed conductive polymer nanocomposites (CPC) for the development of functional and smart textiles. 3D printing holds strong potential for the formation of a new class of multifunctional nanocomposites. Therefore, development and characterization of 3D printable functional polymers and nanocomposites are needed to apply 3D printing as a novel process for the deposition of functional materials on fabrics. This method will introduce more flexible, resource-efficient and cost-effective textile functionalization processes than conventional printing process like screen and inkjet printing. The goal is to develop an integrated or tailored production process for smart and functional textiles which avoid unnecessary use of water, energy, chemicals and minimize the waste to improve ecological footprint and productivity. The contribution of this thesis is the creation and characterization of 3D printable CPC filaments, deposition of polymers and nanocomposites on fabrics, and investigation of the performance of the 3D printed CPC layers in terms of functionality. Firstly, the 3D printable CPC filaments were created including multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNT) and high-structured carbon black (Ketjenblack) (KB) incorporated into a biobased polymer, polylactic acid (PLA), using a melt mixing process. The morphological, electrical, thermal and mechanical properties of the 3D printer filaments and 3D printed layers were investigated. Secondly, the performance of the 3D printed CPC layers was analyzed under applied tension and compression force. The response for the corresponding resistance change versus applied load was characterized to investigate the performance of the printed layers in terms of functionality. Lastly, the polymers and nanocomposites were deposited on fabrics using 3D printing and the adhesion of the deposited layers onto the fabrics were investigated. The results showed that PLA-based nanocomposites including MWNT and KB are 3D printable. The changes in morphological, electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties of nanocomposites before and after 3D printing give us a great understanding of the process optimization. Moreover, the results demonstrate PLA/MWNT and PLA/KB as a good piezoresistive feedstock for 3D printing with potential applications in wearable electronics, soft robotics, and prosthetics, where complex design, multi-directionality, and customizability are demanded. Finally, different variables of the 3D printing process showed a significant effect on adhesion force of deposited polymers and nanocomposites onto fabrics which has been presented by the best-fitted model for the specific polymer and fabric

Abstract:
Consumer additive manufacturing (3D printing) has rapidly grown over the last decade. While the technology for the most common type, Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF), has systematically improved and sales have increased, fundamentally, the capabilities of the machines have remained the same. FFF printers are still limited to depositing layers onto a flat build plate. This makes it difficult to combine consumer AM with other objects. While consumer AM promises to allow us to customize our world, the reality has fallen short. The ability to directly modify existing objects presents numerous possibilities to the consumer: personalization, adding functionality, improving functionality, repair, and novel multi-material manufacturing processes. Indeed, similar goals for industrial manufacturing drove the research and development of technologies like direct write and directed energy deposition which can deposit layers onto uneven surfaces. Replicating these capabilities on consumer 3-axis FFF machines is difficult mainly due to issues with reliability, repeatability, and quality. This thesis proposes, demonstrates, and tests a method for scanning and printing dimensionally-accurate (unwarped) digital forms onto physical objects using a modified consumer-grade 3D printer. It then provides an analysis of the machine design considerations and critical process parameters.

Abstract:
Rapid Prototyped part failure constitutes a major issue for both RP providers and customers. When parts fail the reputation of the vendor is heavily deteriorated, customer dissatisfaction increase and replacement of the broken parts is often necessary to avoid the loss of future business. Product design teams often run into situations where Rapid Prototyped parts are not able to withstand shipping and handling and delivered broken or while demonstrating and examining the parts. When done in the face of customers this builds a perception of poor quality and lack of aptitude on the design group as well as the RP processes. The rapid advance of the RP industry and technology has led users to employ RP parts for structural applications where the need to understand in great detail and accuracy the mechanical behavior of the product and its individual components is greater than ever. Models built on Rapid Prototyping (RP) equipment are most often made from polymers which frequently have mechanical properties that are inferior to those manufactured by traditional methods such as thermoforming or injection molding. Not only are the mechanical properties of RP models typically low, they are usually, at least in thin sections, directly dependent on the section or wall thickness of the models. This dependence of strength on wall thickness makes it difficult to predict a proper wall thickness for RP models, even when nominal values of material strength are known. The purpose of this work is to present and compare measured values of tensile strength and stiffness as a function of wall thickness for three RP processes and materials. These properties will assist designers estimating adequate minimum wall thicknesses for models built by the three processes. The three RP technologies included in the scope of this research are: Z Corporation (powder with polymer binder layup), Fuse Deposition Modeling and PolyJet Layup (Objet). The findings of this study establish that tensile strength and stiffness values are dependent upon wall thickness, building orientation and direction of the applied force of specimens created with the methods in consideration. It was also determined that the correlation between thickness and strength for all processes is non-linear. Due to these results a single tensile strength and modulus value for each material and all wall thicknesses do not accurately represent their behavior. However, these results will allow a designer to understand the relationship between the wall thickness and using the data provided in this work be able to model and then fabricate adequate 3D prototypes.

O objetivo deste trabalho foi estudar a influencia das condições da impressão 3D nas propriedades finais do polietileno de alta densidade usando a modelagem por fusão e deposição, FDM. Foram impressos protótipos com formato de corpos de prova para teste de tração tipo V segundo norma ASTM D638, a três temperaturas de processamento: 220, 240 e 260 Graus Celsius. Para a impressão das amostras foram mantidos constantes os parâmetros de controle, entre eles a espessura da camada de impressão. As amostras impressas foram caracterizadas por difração de raios X, espectroscopia infravermelha, calorimetria diferencial de varredura, análise termogravimétrica, ensaio de tração, índice de fluidez e teste de contração. Os resultados das caracterizações das amostras impressas foram comparados com os resultados do material sem processar, cujas propriedades foram obtidas usando os mesmo métodos de caracterização. Estes resultados demostraram que as condições de impressão por FDM empregadas neste trabalho causaram apenas uma leve mudança nas características estruturais das amostras processadas do PEAD em relação ao material original sem processamento. Houve um leve aumento da cristalinidade no PEAD impresso (em torno de 1,3 a 3 porcento). Além disso, foi comprovado que por causa do resfriamento desigual na superfície e no interior da amostra impressa, o grau de cristalinidade foi levemente maior no interior que na superfície do corpo de prova impresso. A leve mudança no grau de cristalinidade não foi suficiente para causar mudança no módulo de elasticidade e no limite de escoamento em relação ao PEAD original. Outros resultados demostraram que não houve mudança significativa envolvendo formação de ligações duplas, quebra de cadeias e degradação térmica por efeito da condição do processamento utilizada durante a impressão.
The aim of this work was to study the influence of process conditions for 3D printing on the final properties of prototypes of high density polyethylene (HDPE) using the method of the fused deposition modeling. Prototypes for type-V tensile testing according to ASTM D 638 were printed; They were made to three processing temperatures: 220, 240 and 260 Celsius degree. Control parameters for printing were kept constant in all the samples. The printed samples were characterized by X – ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, differential scanning calorimetry, tensile test, melt flow index test, and, shrinkage test. The results of the characterization of the printed samples and of the original material were compared. These results demonstrated that the printing conditions employed in this study caused a slight change in the structural characteristics of the printed samples compared to the unprocessed original material, there being a slight increase in crystallinity (about 1,3 to 3 percent) for HDPE which was printed. In addition, it has been proven that the degree of crystallinity was slightly greater on the inside that on the surface of the printed samples, because of uneven cooling on the surface and inside of these samples. The slight change in the degree of crystallinity was not enough to cause change in the elastic modulus and yield strength compared to the original HDPE. Other results showed that there was not significant change involving bond formation, break chains, and, thermal degradation by the effect of the processing conditions used during printing.

Thesis deals with FDM 3D printing method and testing capabilities of optimum printing conditions for different materials. The aim of this work is to design and manufacture of experimental device that enables printing to investigate these conditions. A device designed in this work was named UK3DP and allows dual color object printing with maximum dimensions of the square base of 150 mm and a height of 150 mm. Before printing, the user can set almost all parameters affecting the printing process, including air temperature in heated chamber that is part of it. To verify the functionality several materials are tested, including ABS, PC and PEI. It also describes basic verification of the influence of selected parameters on the print result. Performs tensile tests confirming the influence of ambient temperature during printing on the quality of fiber connections, examines the final quality of the surface for each layer height and compares the resulting deformation of printed objects with other printers. The result of this work is a 3D printer capable of testing printing conditions for both existing and new types of materials with a range of user adjustable parameters.

Abstract:
The relatively new and still growing field of 3D-printing has opened up the possibilities to manufacture patient-specific medical devices with high geometrical accuracy in a precise and quick manner. Additionally, biocompatible materials are a demand for all medical applications while biodegradability is of importance when developing scaffolds for tissue growth for instance. With respect to this, this project consisted of developing biocompatible and bioresorbable polymer blend and composite filaments, for fused deposition modeling (FDM) printing. Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and polycaprolactone (PCL) were used as supporting polymer matrix while hydroxyapatite (HA), a calcium phosphate with similar chemical composition to the mineral phase of human bone, was added to the composites to enhance the biological activity. PLA and PCL content was varied between 90–70 wt% and 10-30 wt%, respectively, while the HA content was 15 wt% in all composites. All materials were characterized in terms of mechanical properties, thermal stability, chemical composition and morphology. An accelerated degradation study of the materials was also executed in order to investigate the degradation behavior as well as the impact of the degradation on the above mentioned properties. The results showed that all processed materials exhibited higher mechanical properties compared to the human trabecular bone, even after degradation with a mass loss of around 30% for the polymer blends and 60% for the composites. It was also apparent that the mineral accelerated the polymer degradation significantly, which can be advantageous for injuries with faster healing time, requiring only support for a shorter time period.

Abstract:
3D printing a CAD modelnormally requires conversion into a polygon mesh, usually an STL-file, in orderto be able to load the model in the slicer. This conversion destroys roundsurfaces and replaces them with flat surfaces. Slicing a polygon mesh resultsin one or more polygons, consisting of a number of straight lines. This canaffect both dimensional accuracy and surface smoothness. Modern 3D-printerscan, in addition to straight lines, handle arcs. However, today’s commonslicers can not generate arcs as the input does not contain any curvedfeatures. This project aims at finding an alternative solution. By directslicing of CAD models the slices can contain arcs, and the slicer can producearc commands for the 3D-printer. During this project a prototype slicer isconstructed as a proof of concept. The prototype handles STEP-files as inputand creates both linear and circular movement for the 3D-printer. The resultsshow that both the intermediate files (STEP/STL) and the resulting G-code filescan get smaller, yet preserving the original shape, by using this method. Theproposed solution has a positive effect on the 3D-printing workflow as well, asthe intermediate files can be imported back into the CAD system. The projectconcludes that there is possibly a bright future for direct slicing, but thereare more problems to solve before it can become reality.

Abstract:
The need for reliable and cost-effective testing procedures for Additive Manufacturing (AM) is growing. In this Dissertation, the development of a new computational-experimental method based on the realization of specific testing artifacts to address this need is presented. This research is focused on one of the widely utilized AM technologies, Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), and can be extended to other AM technologies as well. In this method, testing artifacts are designed with simplified boundary conditions and computational domains that minimize uncertainties in the analyses. Testing artifacts are a combination of thin and thick cantilever structures, which allow measurement of natural frequencies, mode shapes, and dimensions as well as distortions and deformations. We apply Optical Non-Destructive Testing (ONDT) together with computational methods on the testing artifacts to predict their natural frequencies, thermal flow, mechanical properties, and distortions as a function of 3D printing parameters. The complementary application of experiments and simulations on 3D printed testing artifacts allows us to systematically investigate the density, porosity, moduli of elasticity, and Poisson’s ratios for both isotropic and orthotropic material properties to better understand relationships between these characteristics and the selected printing parameters. The method can also be adapted for distortions and residual stresses analyses. We optimally collect data using a design of experiments technique that is based on regression models, which yields statistically significant data with a reduced number of iterations. Analyses of variance of these data highlight the complexity and multifaceted effects of different process parameters and their influences on 3D printed part performance. We learned that the layer thickness is the most significant parameter that drives both density and elastic moduli. We also observed and defined the interactions among density, elastic moduli, and Poisson’s ratios with printing speed, extruder temperature, fan speed, bed temperature, and layer thickness quantitatively. This Dissertation also shows that by effectively combining ONDT and computational methods, it is possible to achieve greater understanding of the multiphysics that governs FDM. Such understanding can be used to estimate the physical and mechanical properties of 3D printed components, deliver part with improved quality, and minimize distortions and/or residual stresses to help realize functional components.

Abstract:
This thesis presents a multiscale investigation and characterization of additive manufactured Polyamide material using fused deposition modelling technique. Manufacturing was performed using Markforgeds – Mark one 3D printer.  A multiscale investigation dedicated to minimizing the effect of shape distortion during 3D printing are presented, focusing on both molecular alignment in microstructure and implementing internal structures in mesostructure. Characterization on samples investigating microstructure was performed with coefficient of linear thermal expansion measurement and 3-point bending experiment. Different samples with varying infill patterns are tested and results indicates an isotropic behaviour through the manufactured samples and implies no molecular alignment due to printing pattern. In meso-structure, an implemented internal pattern is investigated. All samples are measured with 3D scanning equipment to localize and measure the magnitude of shape distortion. Attempts to find relationships in shape distortion and porosity between the samples resulted in no observed trends. Compressive experiments where performed on samples in axial- and transverse directions resulting in anisotropic behaviour. The largest compressive stiffness is recorded in axial direction reaching 0,33 GPa. The study is done in collaboration with Swerea SICOMP and Luleå University of Technology.

Abstract:
La pandemia cosiddetta “da nuovo coronavirus” (COVID-19), che ha colpito il mondo intero, ha obbligato la popolazione ad imparare a convivere con questo virus altamente contagioso e misterioso. Le poche evidenze che si hanno in letteratura in merito al COVID-19 sono concordi nell’affermare che una delle principali fonti di contagio siano le superfici infette come, ad esempio, le maniglie delle porte. Se un soggetto infetto tocca la maniglia e successivamente un altro individuo ne entra in contatto e si porta le mani infette alle mucose del viso, la probabilità che sia stato contagiato è molto alta. Per tali motivi, si è pensato di creare un dispositivo in grado di adattarsi a maniglie a leva di diverse dimensioni e che permetta di aprire le porte senza contatto diretto con le mani (hands-free). Per la generazione di questo dispositivo sono state utilizzate delle tecnologie digitali, come Reverse Engineering (RE), Generative Design (GD) e Additive Manufacturing (AM). L’obiettivo principale del presente elaborato è quello di sviluppare e sperimentare una metodologia per la creazione semiautomatica e la produzione del dispositivo hands-free a partire da una scansione 3D delle maniglie. Questo processo utilizza in primis la tecnologia RE che permette di generare un modello digitale della maniglia scelta. Successivamente entra in gioco il Generative Design con la creazione di un algoritmo semi-automatico, che permette di creare una versione personalizzata del dispositivo ultimato e pronto per la stampa 3D (AM). Il dispositivo sarà “adattivo” fin dalla fase di generazione senza quindi essere vincolato ad una specifica geometria di maniglia, ma grazie all'algoritmo se ne possono generare istanze nuove per ciascuna. In particolare, in questo elaborato verrà presentato questo processo di lavoro applicato a 2 maniglie a leva differenti, presenti nella Scuola di Ingegneria a Forlì.

Abstract:
In this bachelor thesis, I examine how automation of fused filament fabrication (FFF) can be implemented, and what the limitations are for different kinds of automation solutions for FFF. Fused filament fabrication is a 3D-printing technology where a material is extruded through a nozzle, layer by layer, to create a print. The thesis also provides a calculation for the commercial feasibility of small batch rapid production with the implementation of an automation solution for FFF. The approach was a qualitative study containing five interviews, combined with empirical knowledge and data from the additive manufacturing company Svensson 3D. This was complemented with an analysis of which criteria to use when evaluating FFF automation solutions, and a framework for looking at FFF from an operator perspective. To calculate commercial feasibility of automation solutions for FFF, Internal Rate of Return and Payback Time were used. This resulted in six criteria to evaluate solutions for automation of FFF, three evaluations of problems within three solutions for automation of FFF, and a finding showing that small batch rapid production is commercially feasible with automated FFF. Lastly, the thesis contains a discussion regarding what the future is for FFF, and the limitations of the framework presented for evaluating automated FFF systems. Possible promising solutions for automated FFF are presented, together with ideas for how design for additive manufacturing can help shape the future of automated FFF.
I det här kandidatarbetet undersöker jag hur automatisering inom fused filament fabrication (FFF) kan implementeras, och vad begränsningarna är för olika sorters automatiseringslösningar för FFF. Det läggs även fram en uträkning för den kommersiella gångbarheten för small batch rapid production med implementeringen av ett automatiskt FFF-system. Tillvägagångsättet bestod av en kvalitativ studie baserad på fem intervjuer, kombinerad med empirisk kunskap och data från additiva tillverkningsföretaget Svensson 3D. Det här kompletterades med en analys av vilka parametrar som bör användas för att utvärdera lösningar för FFF-automatisering, och ett ramverk där automatiseringslösningarna betraktas ur ett operatörs-perspektiv. För att räkna ut den kommersiella gångbarheten för automatiseringslösningar av FFF användes internränta och återbetalningstid. Det här resulterade i sex parametrar för att utvärdera automatiseringslösningar för FFF, tre utvärderingar av vilka problem som finns i tre existerande automatiseringslösningar, och slutsatsen att small batch rapid production är kommersiellt gångbart för automatiserad FFF. Slutligen innehåller arbetet en diskussion gällande framtiden för FFF och begränsningarna hos det ramverk som presenterades för att utvärdera automatiserade FFF system. Möjliga lovande lösningar för automatiserad FFF presenteras och hur design för additiv tillverkning kan hjälpa till att forma framtiden för automatiserad FFF.

Abstract:
Volvo Cars in Skövde manufacture and assemble Volvo engines. When attaching the ignition coil to all 4-cylinder engines, a special mounting tool is required. This mounting tool is currently manufactured from injection-molded polyoxymethylene (POM), a thermoplastic. It has been noted that the life span of the tool is shortened as a result of abrasive wear that occurs during the attachment process of the ignition coil. An investigation of the possibility of manufacturing the mounting tool with a 3D-printer is undertaken in cooperation with ÅF, a consultant to Volvo Cars. A literature study is first presented to introduce broader knowledge on the subject. The abrasive wear and other material characteristics such as tensile strength, compressive strength and elongation of  POM and an alternative material for 3D-printing,  Ultem™, an amorphous thermoplastic polyetherimide are discussed.  These material characteristics are studied further and considered in tandem with both a theoretical analysis and a wear experiment, based on the pin-on-disc method. It is shown in the theoretical analysis that the wear is approximately six times larger for Ultem™ when compared to POM. The wear resistance of Ultem™ is highest when wear occurs parallel to the direction of the printed layers. In contrast, the experiment shows that the wear is about three times larger in Ultem™ than in POM.  The highest tensile strength of Ultem™ is also found in the direction of the printed layers. Some issues with the small elongation of the 3D-printed material are presented. It is recommended that ÅF apply the 3D-printing technique with Ultem™ only for construction details with complex geometries and where the material elongation will not exceed 5%. It is also recommended that ÅF both support and contribute to this innovative technique in order to develop leading edge competence in the subject.
Volvo Cars i Skövde tillverkar och monterar Volvomotorer. Vid monteringen av tändspolen till alla 4-cylindriga motorer behövs ett monteringsverktyg. Detta monteringsverktyg tillverkas för närvarande från formsprutad termoplast polyoximetylen (POM). Det har noterats att livslängden av verktyget förkortas på grund av abrasiv nötning som uppkommer under monteringsprocessen av tändspolen. Möjligheterna att tillverka monteringsverktyget med en 3D-skrivare utvärderas i samverkan med ÅF, en konsult till Volvo Cars. En litteraturstudie presenteras för att introducera en bredare kunskap i ämnet. Den abrasiva nötningen och materialegenskaper såsom draghållfasthet, tryckhållfasthet samt töjning hos POM och ett alternativt material för 3D-skrivning, Ultem™, en amorf termoplast polyeterimid, behandlas. Dessa materialegenskaper studeras vidare och tas i beaktning med både en teoretisk analys och ett nötningsexperiment, baserat på pin-on-disc metoden. Enligt den teoretiska analysen är nötningen hos Ultem™ approximativt 6 gånger större vid jämförelsen med POM. Nötningsbeständigheten hos Ultem™ är högst då nötning sker parallellt med 3D-skrivningsriktningen av lagren. Nötningsexperimenten visar att nötningen hos Ultem™ är ungefär 3 gånger större vid jämförelsen med POM. Den högsta draghållfastheten hos Ultem™ uppkommer också parallellt med 3D-skrivningsriktningen av lagren. Problem med den låga töjningen hos det 3D-skrivna materialet behandlas. ÅF rekommenderas att tillämpa 3D-skrivning med materialet Ultem™ främst för detaljer med komplexa geometrier med en töjning som inte överskrider 5 %. ÅF rekommenderas även att både stödja och bidra till denna innovativa teknik för att kunna skapa en ledande expertis i ämnet.

Abstract:
The theme of this doctoral thesis is the design of concrete shell structures with the focus on finding their optimal shape. The optimal shape of a concrete shell is the shape in which for a given load (usually the dead weight of the structure) no significant bending moments are generated in the shell and the structure is in the so-called membrane state. The inspiration for this thesis is the work of Swiss engineer Heinz Isler, who developed the shapes of shell structures using model tests of appropriately loaded flexible membranes. He developed the shell structure for large spans by inverting the resultant shape, which carried its weight almost entirely via membrane forces. The numerical solution of the above experiments using Midas Civil is presented herein. The basic principles of the method are demonstrated on the example of sagged cable. The numerically found shapes are compared with the analytical solution. A shell is designed based on the numerically found shapes and its stress response to dead load is described, particularly in relation to the membrane action. In the next part, the acquired knowledge and methods were used to design three relatively complicated shell structures. Each structure was statically analysed and its static behaviour was described. Structures with perfectly rigid or flexible supports, which simulate real behaviour of the supports, were studied. In the final phase, the results of static analysis of the selected shell were experimentally verified on a physical model in a scale of 1: 55.56. The model has been built using 3D printing. The thesis describes the use of a modelling similarity, the model design, the production process, and the experiment. The load test confirmed the optimal design of the shell structure and the validity of the numerical method for finding their shapes.

Abstract:
In this thesis, the incorporation of drug loaded mesoporous magnesium carbonate as an excipient for the additive manufacturing of oral tablets by fused deposition modeling was investigated. Cinnarizine, a BCS class II drug, was loaded into the pores of the mesoporous material via a soaking method, corresponding to a drug loading of 8.68 wt%. DSC measurements on the loaded material suggested that the drug was partially crystallized after incorporation, meanwhile the XRD diffractogram implied that the drug was in a state lacking long range order. The drug loaded material was combined with two pharmaceutical polymers, Aquasolve LG and Klucel ELF, and extruded into filaments with a single screw extruder. Filaments of Klucel ELF and drug loaded Upsalite (30:70 wt% ratio) were successfully implemented for the printing oral tablets, in contrast to the Aquasolve LG based filaments which were difficult to print due to thickness variations and non-uniform material distributions. The drug content obtained by TGA suggested drug loadings of 7.71 wt% and 2.23 wt% in the drug loaded Upsalite and tablets respectively. Dissolution studies using an USP II apparatus showed a slower API-release from the tablets in comparison to the crystalline drug, most probably due to slow diffusion of drug species through the polymeric matrix. For future studies, pharmaceutical polymers with higher aqueous solubility should be investigated in order to thoroughly examine the potential of utilizing the immediate release property of Upsalite.

Il potenziale delle nuove tecnologie digitali applicate al settore industriale ha consentito di ridurre enormemente la durata dei cicli produttivi grazie alla rapida gestione di quantità di dati sempre più considerevoli attraverso l’introduzione delle Macchine a Controllo Numerico (Computer Numerical Control – CNC). Nel corso delle ultime tre decadi, l’industria manifatturiera ha subito notevoli e sostanziali cambiamenti grazie ad una sempre più forte connessione con il mondo dell’informatica. La più grande rivoluzione in tale ambito è stata segnata dall’avvento della Manifattura Additiva (Additive Manufacturing - AM), conosciuta sotto diversi nomi, tra i quali Prototipazione Rapida (Rapid Prototyping), Manifattura Rapida (Rapid Manufacturing) o Libera Fabbricazione di Forme (Free Form Fabrication). Materia di ricerca e sviluppo sin dalla fine degli anni ’80, la Manifattura Additiva consente la creazione di elementi fisici tridimensionali partendo da modelli CAD attraverso la sovrapposizione successiva di materiale strato per strato (layer by layer), offrendo i benefici di una elevata flessibilità geometrica degli elaborati, altrimenti irraggiungibile attraverso le tradizionali tecniche di Manifattura Sottrattiva operanti per asportazione di materiale. In seguito ad intensive ricerche, progressi significativi sono stati fatti nello sviluppo e nella commercializzazione di nuovi ed innovativi processi AM.

The goal of this thesis is discussing the basic mechanical property of the product manufactured by using Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) type 3D printing technology with PLA-Cu powder composite as material. The analysis of specimen was done by using Dynamic Mechanical Analysis, (DMA), Differential Scanning Calorimeter (DSC), Thermogravimetric Analyzer (TGA), and Universal Strength Tester (UST), and Izod impact testing machine. The analysis also includes the comparison of specimens with Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) and Polylactic Acid (PLA) as material. According to the experiment data of TGA, the sharp decrease of weight at 290℃ infers PLA-Cu composite cannot sustain high temperature environment. According to the analysis of DSC, the melting point at 145.3℃ may be caused by the 20% PLA ingredient in the PLA-copper composite. Furthermore, the copper powder ingredient could cause a homogeneous temperature distribution in the material, so the better manufacturing performance could be achieved. In the tensile strength test, the copper powder added in the material did not enhance the material tensile strength, the strength was decreased instead. In the Izod impact test, PLA-Cu composite specimen had the best impact endurance in the three different material specimens. And there was no bedded structure on the break surface. According to the DMA data, the viscoelasticity of PLA-copper composite is similar to pure PLA material. And the PLA-copper composite specimen performed higher stress when measuring storage modulus and loss modulus. It may be caused by the copper powder in the material

This study mainly discusses the qualitative analysis of fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing on different wire materials, and uses slice software to simulate slice analysis. It looks for four factors in nozzle temperature, The main factors affecting quality are the best combination of parameters. This wire experiment uses PLA-SUS, PLA-IRON, PLA and ABS to make the difference between the printing test and the appearance, to analyze the different effects of different materials, so that the quality can not be changed in the future application of the mechanism. This also helps save on the cost of materials parameters are also very important. They will affect the resolution of the layer height, therefore they will be planned through the slice software to do the simulation path. In the position of the fused deposition (FDM) support, it is also necessary to think about it, in order to insure the overall quality of the appearance.

O presente trabalho trata o estudo de um processo de impressão tridimensional (Fused Deposition Modeling) e desenvolvimento de uma nova tecnologia, metodologia e ferramenta de extrusão capaz de diminuir o tempo total de impressão de um modelo. Esta técnica de impressão tridimensional pertence ao grupo dos métodos de prototipagem rápida e consiste em obter um objeto a partir de um modelo digital de três dimensões. Este método de impressão requere um filamento termoplástico, por exemplo, polylactic acid (PLA), ou acrylayte-butadiene-styrene (ABS) que é aquecido até ao ponto de fusão e extrudido por um orifício “nozzle” com o formato e tamanho pretendido. Ao ser movimentado por um sistema de três graus de liberdade permite desenhar formas complexas depositando uma quantidade específica de um material termoplástico nos sítios adequados. Uma vez concluída uma camada horizontal, a plataforma de impressão sobe ligeiramente para dar origem a uma nova camada (normalmente distâncias que rondam os 0.05mm aos 0.3mm). Este processo repete-se sucessivamente até o modelo estar concluído. Este processo de impressão pode levar poucos minutos até algumas horas no caso de peças mais complexas. O que determina o tempo de impressão é a complexidade do modelo impresso e as características da impressora. No entanto, a velocidade de impressão não e limitada só pelos modelos impressos mas também pelas propriedades químicas dos termoplásticos que são utilizados. Foi assim feita uma pesquisa e desenvolvido um sistema de extrusão bem como o programa de corte, que permite a economia em pelo menos 50% do tempo de impressão e o aumento da resistência mecânica das peças impressas sem ultrapassar os limites funcionais da impressora 3D. Os principais resultados obtidos foram a redução de tempo de impressão, devido à capacidade e flexibilidade da nova tecnologia. Para além do objetivo principal, esta tecnologia permitiu obter modelos impressos com maior resistência mecânica.
This paper deals with the study of a three-dimensional printing process (Fused Deposition Modeling) and development of a new technology, methodology and extrusion tool that can reduce the total time printing a model. This three-dimensional printing technique belongs to the group of rapid prototyping methods and is to obtain an object from a digital model of three dimensions. This printing method requires a thermoplastic filament, for example, polylactic acid (PLA), or acrylayte-butadiene-styrene (ABS) which is heated to melting point and extruded through an orifice "nozzle" in the shape and desired size. When being moved by a system of three degrees of freedom allows designing complex shapes by depositing a specific amount of a thermoplastic material at the appropriate sites. Once completed a horizontal layer, the print platform rises slightly to give a new layer (usually distances that are around 0.05mm to 0.3mm). This process is repeated successively until the model is complete. This printing process may take a few minutes to a few hours for more complex parts. What determines the printing time is the complexity of the printed pattern and printer characteristics. However, the print speed is not limited only by the printed models but also by the chemical properties of the thermoplastics that are used. It was thus made research and developed an extrusion system and a cutting program that allows savings of at least 50% of the printing time and increase the mechanical resistance of the printed parts without exceeding the functional limits of the 3D printer. The main results were the printing time reduction, due to the capacity and flexibility of the new technology. Apart from the main goal, this technology allowed to obtain printed models with higher mechanical strength.

Abstract:
This report has as main objective the development and application of a 3D printing module (additive manufacturing) in a computer numeric control (CNC) milling machine (subtractive manufacturing) creating a hybrid manufacturing environment that could offer the advantages of both methods. Every CNC milling machine using this 3D printing module could be converted in a 3D printer by changing from a regular tool to the 3D printing module which is applied in the spindle of the machine in a very simple process. This module is equipped with a system capable of reading the spindle rotation speed, and uses that information to set up different commands and actions. Focused in the development of a low-cost system, there is used an Arduino board to control all the systems needed to work with the module. Most of the parts of the module are printed in a 3D printer that uses the stereolithograph technology, being able to create parts with complex shapes, high precision and good surface finishing. The experimental results obtained in the first tests were not as expected. Many problems that haven’t been taken in consideration when the initial development of the module was done. Many solutions were found and some corrections were done to eliminate or minimize those problems. The temperature control system and the revolutions per minute reading system shown very good results in the experimental tests. The biggest issue faced was related with filament feeding system. Many structural modifications were implemented to improve it, with better performance, obtaining acceptable final results, however with significant possibilities for improvement.

At present, in the FDM 3D printing process, thermoplastic materials (PLA or ABS) are often used. These materials are made into a wire shape (usually called filament) and wrapped around a spool. When the printing operation is performed, the spool is hung on the machine. As the printing action progresses, the filament will be pulled out, slowly fed into the printing nozzle, heated and softened therein, and then extruded out of the nozzle. Once the softened filament exits the nozzle outlet, it is hardened by cooling. As a result, it is stacked one layer after another layer according to a predetermined route, and a three-dimensional pattern is constructed gradually, which is the operation principle of FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling).Most of the application software for 3D printing can calculate the material required for the design. However, the residual material on the spool can only be estimated by visual observation. Therefore, it may happen that "the filament is used up, but the printing is not completed." At this point, unless someone stops the machine immediately (usually no one is next to the machine), it will continue to print without the filament, which is certainly a frustrating ending, because you have to do it again after a long time waiting. Most of the popular models of 3D printer can't overcome this problem. This research tried to find a simple and effective approach to on-line measure the residual material for FDM 3D printing, and help users to avoid the above dilemma.

One of the primary challenges faced in Additive Manufacturing (AM) is reducing the overall cost and printing time. A critical factor in cost and time reduction is post-processing of 3D printed (3DP) parts, which includes removing support structures. Support is needed to prevent the collapse of the part or certain areas under its own weight during the 3D printing process. Currently, the design of self-supported 3DP parts follows experimental trials. A trial and error process is needed to produce high quality parts by Fused Depositing Modeling (FDM). An example for a chamfer angle, is the common use of 45 degree angle in the AM process. Surfaces that are more flat show defects than inclined surfaces, and therefore a numerical model is needed. The model can predict the problematic areas at a print, reducing the experimental prints and providing a higher number of usable parts. Physical-based models have not been established due to the generally unknown properties of the material during the AM process. With simulations it is possible to simulate the part at different temperatures with a variety of other parameters that have influence on the behavior of the model. In this research, analytic calculations and physical tests are carried out to determine the material properties of the thermoplastic polymer Acrylonitrile - Butadiene - Styrene (ABS) for FDM at the time of extrusion. This means that the ABS is going to be extruded at 200C to 245C and is a viscus material during part construction. Using the results from the physical and analytical models, i.e., Timoshenko’s modified beam theory for micro structures, a numerical material model is established to simulate the filament deformation once it is deposited onto the part. Experiments were also used to find the threshold for different geometric specifications, which could then be applied to the numerical model to improve the accuracy of the simulation. The result of the nonlinear finite element analysis is compared to experiments to show the correlation between the prediction of deflection in simulation and the actual deflection measured in physical experiments. A case study was conducted using an application that optimizes topology of complex geometries. After modeling and simulating the optimized part, areas of defect and errors were determined in the simulation, then verified and and measured with actual 3D prints.
