Instructions

Reading digital theses in the closed network of the Aalto University Harald Herlin Learning Centre

In the closed network of Learning Centre you can read digital and digitized theses not available in the open network.

The Learning Centre contact details and opening hours: https://learningcentre.aalto.fi/en/harald-herlin-learning-centre/

You can read theses on the Learning Centre customer computers, which are available on all floors.

Logging on to the customer computers

  • Aalto University staff members log on to the customer computer using the Aalto username and password.
  • Other customers log on using a shared username and password.

Opening a thesis

  • On the desktop of the customer computers, you will find an icon titled:

    Aalto Thesis Database

  • Click on the icon to search for and open the thesis you are looking for from Aaltodoc database. You can find the thesis file by clicking the link on the OEV or OEVS field.

Reading the thesis

  • You can either print the thesis or read it on the customer computer screen.
  • You cannot save the thesis file on a flash drive or email it.
  • You cannot copy text or images from the file.
  • You cannot edit the file.

Printing the thesis

  • You can print the thesis for your personal study or research use.
  • Aalto University students and staff members may print black-and-white prints on the PrintingPoint devices when using the computer with personal Aalto username and password. Color printing is possible using the printer u90203-psc3, which is located near the customer service. Color printing is subject to a charge to Aalto University students and staff members.
  • Other customers can use the printer u90203-psc3. All printing is subject to a charge to non-University members.

Abstract (eng): This Master's Thesis focuses on studying the State of Art of Additive Manufacturing (AM) systems and current industrial application to produce structural plastic parts for the prototyping and assembly of consumer electronic products.
The work evaluates the potential implications of AM technology related to a specific case company which designs, manufactures and supplies consumer electronic products globally.

This work presents a framework of AM process categories depending upon the type of application in which the technology can be implemented.
Furthermore, the link between the Case Company Product Development Process was performed to explain the capabilities of each AM process category to non-expert users.

During the research, three different AM machines have been analysed to evaluate their technical and economic feasibility to produced structural plastic parts for the assembly of low and medium manufacturing batches of plastic part used in the assembly of Alpha-Prototypes during pre-production series.

The result of the Design of Experiment (DOE) indicates that some AM systems can be economically viable and technically feasible to produce inner structural plastic parts for the assembly of the technical prototypes.
Therefore, temporary tooling and injection molding methods can be potentially replaced at initial stages of pre-production series.
AM and toll-less manufacturing can be implemented to the product development process to gain design flexibility, reduce time-to-market and save cost during the assembly of technical prototypes.
