Public Defence in Additive Manufacturing, M.Sc. Mehrdad Mousapour

Multi-metal parts additive manufacturing (MMAM) represents a transformative approach that integrates multiple metals within a single component, leading to superior material properties and structural complexity. Compared to conventional manufacturing methods, AM offers opportunities for engineering optimization and performance enhancements. This dissertation explores the feasibility of utilizing cost-effective AM technologies including material extrusion (MEX) and vat photopolymerization (VPP) to produce multi-metal parts. The study evaluates the properties, challenges, and limitations associated with this manufacturing approach, providing valuable insights into its potential applications and advancements in the field of multi-metal AM. These desktop printers are widely utilized in engineering, product design, dentistry, and other fields requiring high-resolution, intricate 3D printed parts. Therefore, this dissertation has the potential to benefit companies, societies, and countries with limited resources by facilitating the maintenance of critical infrastructure and the production of previously unattainable multifunctional parts.
