Additive Manufacturing: rapid prototyping comes of age
Rapid Prototyping Journal, 2012Co-Authors: Ian Campbell, David L Dl Bourell, Ian GibsonAbstract:Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to provide a personalised view by the Editors of the Design/methodology/approach – It collects their years of experience in a series of observations and experiences that can be considered as a Rapid Prototyping Journal . snapshot of where this technology is today. Findings – Development of these technologies has progressed according to application, materials and how the designers have applied their creativity to such a unique Manufacturing Tool. Originality/value – The paper predicts how the future of additive Manufacturing will look from the perspective of three key elements: applications, materials and design.

Parametric nasopharyngeal swab for sampling COVID-19 and other respiratory viruses: Open source design, SLA 3-D printing and UV curing system
'Elsevier BV', 2020Co-Authors: Gallup Nicole, Pringle, Adam M., Oberloier Shane, Tanikella, Nagendra G., Pearce, Joshua M.Abstract:Access to nasopharyngeal swabs for sampling remain a bottleneck in some regions for COVID-19 testing. This study develops a distributed Manufacturing solution using only an open source Manufacturing Tool chain consisting of two types of open source 3-D printing and batch UV curing, and provides a parametric fully free design of a nasopharyngeal swab. The swab was designed using parametric OpenSCAD in two components (a head with engineered break point and various handles), which has several advantages: i) minimizing print time on relatively slow SLA printers, ii) enabling the use of smaller print volume open source SLA printers, iii) reducing the amount of relatively expensive UV resin, and iv) enabling production of handle on more accessible material extrusion 3-D printers. A modular open source UV LED box was designed, fabricated for $45 and tested for batch curing. Swabs can be fabricated for $0.06-$0.12/swab. The results of the mechanical validation tests showed that the swabs could withstand greater forces than would be expected in normal clinical use. The swabs were also able to absorb a significant amounts of synthetic mucus materials and passed abrasion and handling tests. The results show the open source swab are promising candidates for clinical trials.Peer reviewe

HESAM: A Human cEntered Sustainable Additive Manufacturing Tool for Early Design Stages
'CAD Solutions LLC', 2021Co-Authors: Rocheton Bastien, Segonds Frédéric, Laverne Floriane, Perry NicolasAbstract:Despite its development over the past several years, Additive Manufacturing (AM) has not yet unveiled its full potential for sustainable Manufacturing. The recent awareness of the environmental impact of products we consume have allowed researchers to lay the first foundations for sustainable AM. Sustainable Manufacturing of products necessarily requires reducing the impact of all product life phases, from the early design stages, known as cradle, to grave. In this context, the reduction of the environmental impact of prototypes printed during design phases automatically generates a drastic reduction in the environmental impact of the final product. However, the environmental optimization of prototypes requires an analysis of their uses in order to propose a customized a printing configuration. This paper proposes a method and an associated “Human cEntered Sustainable Additive Manufacturing” (HESAM) Tool for early design stages, for sustainable AM (environmental aspect), and the adequacy to the end-user needs related to its prototype. The proposed Tool allows to significantly improve the environmental efficiency of rapid prototyping, regardless of the designer's level of competence
