A Fully 3D Printed Waveguide and its Application as Microfluidically Controlled Waveguide Switch
DownloadFall 2016
Hollow rectangular waveguides are employed extensively in microwave and millimeter wave devices owing to their relatively high power handling capabilities and low losses, particularly at higher frequencies, compared to transmission lines. However, the fabrication of such metal waveguides suffer...

A Novel 3D Printed Brace Manufacturing Process for the Treatment of Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis
DownloadSpring 2019
Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is a three-dimensional spinal deformity with lateral curvature and axial vertebral rotation affecting 1-3% of adolescents. Bracing is a proven non-surgical treatment aiming to stop curve progression. Literature has shown that brace wear time affects brace...

A study on the effect of print parameters on mechanical properties of parts manufactured using additive manufacturing
DownloadFall 2017
This thesis presents an investigation on material-process interaction of vat-photopolymerization processes. The effect of different printing factors on tensile properties is studied. Two vat-photopolymerization processes are considered: Digital Light Processing (DLP) and Stereolithography (SLA)....

Additive Manufacturing and Other Techniques for Fabrication of Foams and Electrically Conductive Polymer Composites
DownloadSpring 2023
In this thesis, two aspects of advanced uses for additive manufacturing and microfabrication are investigated: stretchable electronics and polymer foams. These topics were initially part of an extended project effort to develop new capabilities in deformable, high-frequency antennas and the...

Additive Manufacturing of Shape Memory Polymers: Effects of Print Orientation and Infill Percentage on Mechanical and Shape Memory Recovery Properties
DownloadFall 2017
Material Extrusion Additive Manufacturing (MEAM), also known as Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM), is a manufacturing technique in which three-dimensional objects are built. These objects are built by repeatedly extruding thin layers of molten materials through a nozzle in different paths and...

Development and Usability Testing of a Custom Positioning Surgical Guide for Soft Tissue Breast Reconstruction
DownloadSpring 2019
Breast cancer is the most common cancer in women with more than two thousand new cases diagnosed every year in Alberta. Women endure both physical and psychological hardship from the disease and treatment. Surgical treatment often includes a mastectomy that removes the entire breast. Breast...
