Textile thinking for sustainable materials by Faith Kane, Rachel Philpott

“…The project aims to: establish a number of creative dialogues which explore the development of new sustainable materials for design-led functions, alternative use of materials technologies towards design, and new applications of existing sustainable materials within design contexts; to capture and present emerging dialogues and concepts to create platforms for new research pathways; and to assess the application of ‘textile thinking’ within sustainable materials design as a means of advancing knowledge within this field. By working with textile practitioners the project draws on the pervasive nature of textiles to consider the possibilities of materials from: process perspectives, drawing on traditional textile production methods including weaving, knitting, printing and embroidery; aesthetic perspectives, drawing on decorative traditions; and functional perspectives, drawing on perceptions of use.…”

Additive manufacturing assisted investment casting: vat photopolymerisation of sacrificial casting patterns for highly precise and complex components by Farzaneh Sameni

“…This research also shed more light on hot lithography, and in particular the impact of heat during the vat photopolymerisation process on minimising the deformation and warpage of the parts during and after the 3D printing process. This practice helps to achieve the dimensional precision required for advanced applications such as casting patterns used in aerospace and industrial gas turbine components, where the significantly high demand for complexity and dimensional accuracy had previously made LCD 3D printing abundant as a viable direct rapid investment casting method. …”
