  • Modeling a Spectrum of 3D Printed Materials for Soft Robots

    Creator:
    Hemleben, Samantha
    Abstract:
    Soft robotics is an emerging field that heavily relies on the ability of 3D printers. The limitations in soft robotics lie in the area of the 3D printers and the predictive models of the printed materials. There are currently no reliable models for optimizing the gradients required to create soft...

  • Direct 3D Printing of Silicone Elastomer Soft Robots without Support

    Creator:
    Morrow, John F.
    Abstract:
    Soft robotics utilizes compliant materials (such as rubber) to make robots that are flexible and safe around humans, however these materials present many practical manufacturing challenges. Current fabrication methods use molding techniques which limits the soft robot designs which could be fabricated and impacts part consistency. This defense introduces a...

  • On the Role of Particle Size Distribution in Selective Laser Melting of 316L Stainless Steel

    Creator:
    Coe, Hannah G.
    Abstract:
    Selective laser melting (SLM) is an additive manufacturing (AM) process that uses a laser beam to melt metal powder as it is spread onto the build surface using a roller or scraper, followed by rapid solidification to manufacture a 3D component, one layer at a time. In SLM process, density...
