  • Additive Manufacturing For Sustainable Custom-Designed Implants 
    Booysen, G.J.; van der Merwe, A.F.; de Beer, D.J. (South African Journal of Industrial Engineering, 2019-11)
    Additive manufacturing (AM) has proven to be an attractive alternative manufacturing process compared with subtractive manufacturing (SM). Additive manufacturing has many advantages, such as mass customisation, less material ...
  • Anaesthetic Mouthpiece Development through QFD and Customer Interaction with Functional Prototypes 
    Booysen, G.J.; Barnard, L.J.; Truscott, M.; de Beer, D.J. (Emerald: Rapid Prototyping Journal, 2006)
    The paper reflects on the development of a medical product using rapid prototyping technologies and customer interaction through a quality function deployment (QFD) approach to speed up the process, and to result in customer ...
  • BENCHMARKING OF FDM PRINTED REPLACEMENT PARTS FOR RURAL WHEELCHAIRS 
    Kinnear, W.A.; van der Walt, J.G.; Rossouw, V.; Booysen, G.J. (2016)
    Many disabled patients rely on wheelchairs for mobility to participate as equal citizens within society. Wheelchairs supplied through state healthcare are often not well suited to especially rural conditions and often ...
  • Cost-Effectiveness of Direct Metal Laser Sintered Maraging Steel Inserts For Plastic Injection Moulding Process 
    Combrinck, J.; van As, B.; Booysen, G.J.; de Beer, D.J. (South African Journal of Industrial Engineering, 2019-11)
    This paper describes an investigation into the possible heat transfer benefits of conformal cooling channels using maraging steel MS1 inserts, which could result in a reduction of cycle times and cost per product, and ...
  • DIRECT METAL LASER SINTERING, USING CONFORMAL COOLING, FOR HIGH VOLUME PRODUCTION TOOLING# 
    van As, B.; Combrinck, J.; Booysen, G.J.; de Beer, D.J. (South African Journal of Industrial Engineering, 2017)
    Existing techniques to manufacture conventional tool steel inserts for the plastic injection moulding process are expensive and time-consuming. Complex mould inserts, difficult to manufacture with conventional processes, ...
  • Gynaecological product development facilitated through RP and Rapid Tooling 
    Barnard, L.J.; Booysen, G.J.; De Beer, D.J. (Interim : Interdisciplinary Journal, Vol 4, Issue 1: Central University of Technology, Free State, Bloemfontein, 2005)
    Atkinson distinguishes between four types of prototypes, categorised through its end-use: •Design or aesthetic prototypes •Geometrical prototypes •Functional prototypes •Technological prototypes Shigley and Mitchell ...
  • Limited run production utilising Alumide® tooling for the plastic injection moulding process. 
    Combrinck, J.; Booysen, G.J.; Van der Walt, J.G.; De Beer, D.J. (SAIIE: South African Journal of Industrial Engineering, 2012)
    ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Existing techniques for the production of conventional steel tooling for plastic injection moulding are expensive and time-consuming. As a result, many new products often do not advance beyond the prototype ...
  • Rapid prototyping and manufacturing in medical product development 
    Truscott, M.; Booysen, G.J.; De Beer, D.J. (Interim : Interdisciplinary Journal, Vol 8, Issue 2: Central University of Technology Free State Bloemfontein, 2009)
    RP and recently RM have been key factors in the development of the manufacturing industry in assisting in the development of new products. Fortunately, the application of these technologies has been realised in the medical ...
  • Reverse Engineering of Femur Bone 
    Truscott, M.; De Beer, D.J.; Booysen, G.J.; Barnard, L.J. (Central University of Technology, Free State:Interim : Interdisciplinary Journal, 2005)
    The possible use of Rapid Prototypingi related technologies to support medical product development for cancer patients was investigated. The hypothesis is to use CAD / CAM / RP related technologies to substitute infected ...
