Additive manufacturing (AM) describes an array of methods used to create a 3D object layer by layer. The increasing popularity of AM in the past decade has been due to its demonstrated potential to increase design flexibility, produce rapid prototypes, and decrease material waste. Temporary supports are an inconvenient necessity in many metal AM parts. These sacrificial structures are used to fabricate large overhangs, anchor the part to the build substrate, and provide a heat pathway to avoid warping. Polymers AM has addressed this issue by using support material that is soluble in an electrolyte that the base material is not. In contrast, metals AM has traditionally approached support removal using time consuming, costly methods such as electrical discharge machining or a dremel.

This work introduces dissolvable supports to single- and multi-material metals AM. The multi-material approach uses material choice to design a functionally graded material where corrosion is the functionality being varied. The single-material approach is the primary focus of this thesis, leveraging already common post-print heat treatments to locally alter the microstructure near the surface. By including a sensitizing agent in the ageing heat treatment, carbon is diffused into the part decreasing the corrosion resistance to a depth equal to at least half the support thickness. In a properly chosen electrolyte, this layer is easily chemically, or electrochemically removed. Stainless steel 316 (SS316) and Inconel 718 are both investigated to study this process using two popular alloys. The microstructure evolution and corrosion properties are investigated for both. For SS316, the effect of applied electrochemical potential is investigated to describe the varying corrosion phenomena induced, and the effect of potential choice on resultant roughness. In summary, a new approach to remove supports from metal AM parts is introduced to decrease costs and further the field of metals AM by expanding the design space.

Layer-wise extrusion of soft-solid like cement pastes and mortars is commonly used in 3D printing of concrete. Rheological and mechanical characterization of the printable binder for on-demand flow and subsequent structuration is a critical challenge. This research is an effort to understand the mechanics of cementitious binders as soft solids in the fresh state, towards establishing material-process relationships to enhance print quality. This study introduces 3D printable binders developed based on rotational and capillary rheology test parameters, and establish the direct influence of packing coefficients, geometric ratio, slip velocities, and critical print velocities on the extrudate quality. The ratio of packing fraction to the square of average particle diameter (0.01-0.02), and equivalent microstructural index (5-20) were suitable for printing, and were directly related to the cohesion and extrusional yield stress of the material. In fact, steady state pressure for printing (30-40 kPa) is proportional to the extrusional yield stress, and increases with the geometric ratio (0-60) and print velocity (5-50 mm/s). Higher print velocities results in higher wall shear stresses and was exponentially related to the slip layer thickness (estimated between 1-5μ), while the addition of superplasticizers improve the slip layer thickness and the extrudate flow. However, the steady state pressure and printer capacity limits the maximum print velocity while the deadzone length limits the minimum velocity allowable (critical velocity regime) for printing. The evolution of buildability with time for the fresh state mortars was characterized with digital image correlation using compressive strain and strain rate in printed layers. The fresh state characteristics (interlayer and interfilamentous) and process parameters (layer height and fiber dimensions) influence the hardened mechanical properties. A lower layer height generally improves the mechanical properties and slight addition of fiber (up to 0.3% by volume) results in a 15-30% increase in the mechanical properties. 3D scanning and point-cloud analysis was also used to assess the geometric tolerance of a print based on mean error distances, print accuracy index, and layer-wise percent overlap. The research output will contribute to a synergistic material-process design and development of test methods for printability in the context of 3D printing of concrete.

“Tell It to the Frogs: Fukushima’s nuclear disaster and its impact on the Japanese Tree Frog” is a representation of the work from Giraudeau et. al’s “Carotenoid distribution in wild Japanese tree frogs (Hyla japonica) exposed to ionizing radiation in Fukushima.” This paper looked to see if carotenoid levels in the tree frog’s vocal sac, liver, and blood were affected by radiation from Fukushima’s power plant explosion. Without carotenoids, the pigment that gives the frogs their orange color on their necks, their courtship practices would be impacted and would not be as able to show off their fitness to potential mates. The artwork inspired by this research displayed the tree frog’s degradation over time due to radiation, starting with normal life and ending with their death and open on the table. The sculptures also pinpoint where the carotenoids were being measured with a brilliant orange glaze. Through ceramic hand building, the artist created larger than life frogs in hopes to elicit curiosity about them and their plight. While the paper did not conclude any changes in the frog’s physiology after 18 months of exposure, there are still questions that are left unanswered. Why did these frogs not have any reaction? Could there be any effects after more time has passed? Is radiation leakage as big of a problem as previously thought? The only way to get the answers to these questions is to be aware of these amphibians, the circumstances that led them to be involved, and continued research on them and radiation.

How does the idea of the visible and invisible, tangible and intangible, interact with the garments on the body? Perception, to become aware through the sense, involves the way in which the eye sees space, both visible and invisible. The way in which we see objects are significant in our everyday life and how we evaluate it. The main pattern the garments encompass are the accordion pleating and the variety in which the pattern can be utilized; the accordion pleating can be scaled, attached together, and twisted around the body. Effervescence is a 6-look collection that entails the idea of perception. The results of the project include 3 completed looks, 3 3D print on fabric, and 8 3D print accessories. In this paper, I will explain the process of creating the collection, the experimentation, and the results.
