The purpose of my thesis project is to create a multi-material model that mimics the mechanical behavior of specialized soft tissues such as femoral cartilages with the help of the Digital Anatomy Printer, powered by PolyJet technology. Alongside with the additive manufacturing process, a simplified computational model of a knee joint was created for a finite element analysis on femoral cartilages with the aim of comparing the results in silico with those arising from mechanical tests on the multi-material model.

Abstract

The purpose of my thesis project is to create a multi-material model that mimics the mechanical behavior of specialized soft tissues such as femoral cartilages with the help of the Digital Anatomy Printer, powered by PolyJet technology. Alongside with the additive manufacturing process, a simplified computational model of a knee joint was created for a finite element analysis on femoral cartilages with the aim of comparing the results in silico with those arising from mechanical tests on the multi-material model.
