Designing hydrocolloid based food-ink formulations for extrusion 3D printing (2019, methodology): “Among the current 3D printing methods for food applications (Chia & Wu, 2015; Guo & Leu, 2013), extrusion is a prevailing technique because it is easy to develop and it has the broadest set of “inks”(Guvendiren et al., 2016; Tan, Toh, Wong, & Lin, 2018).”
3D Printing of Highly Pure Copper (2019, background): “Moreover, the topological optimization of 3D CAD models with no additional cost in 3D printing provides many advantages such as complex shapes, short lead times, weight saving, and multifunctional integration [11].”
Overview on Additive Manufacturing Technologies (2017, background): “Thanks to the higher energy density with respect to SLM technology, EBM generally allow the processing of higher thickness of each powder layer (even higher than 100 μm ); however, when growing at a high-production rate, the part suffers of an inferior surface, finishing as drawback [112].”
The barriers to the progression of additive manufacture: perspectives from UK industry (2018, background): “…Flynn et al., 2016; Gu et al., 2012), a parameter within the process (Spears and Gold, 2016; Thompson et al., 2016; Yang and Zhao, 2015), a material (Gorsse et al., 2017; Mertens et al., 2017) or a certain application (Femmer et al., 2016; Guo and Leu, 2013; Li et al., 2015; Uriondo et al., 2015).”
Design of lattice structures with controlled anisotropy (2016, background): “The increasing advancement of various additive manufacturing technologies makes it possible to fabricate complex structures which cannot be processed by conventional technologies (Gibson et al., 2010; Guo and Leu, 2013; Giannitelli, 2014; Murphy and Atala, 2014).”
Unlocking value for a circular economy through 3D printing: A research agenda (2017, background): “Industrial ecology is strongly based on a biological analogy where industrial systems are compared to natural ecosystems (Frosch and Gallopoulos, 1989; Graedel and Allenby, 2002).”
