Additive Manufacturing of Molds for the Mass-Production of Mechanical Ventilators during the COVID-19 Pandemic

The ongoing outbreak of COVID-19 has increased the demand for critical supplies such as test kits, protective equipment, and, most importantly, mechanical ventilators. The injection moulding process is well suited to manufacture various components of mechanical ventilators. Improving mold designs is a key factor in the mass production of the injection molding of parts. In […]

Additive Manufacturing of Functionally Graded Materials and Shape Memory Alloys with Biomedical Applications

Functionally graded materials (FGM) offer a better alternative than the conventional coating techniques since it eliminates the sudden change in composition between different materials. This project proposes to print FGM biomedical implants using a combination of titanium (Ti) powder and hydroxyapatite (HA) powder. Titanium will offer the required mechanical strength for load-bearing implants, while HA […]
