This thesis developed multifunctional 3D-printed scaffolds for repairing critical-size mandibular bone defects. Using bioactive ceramics, surface coatings, and prevascularization strategies, it promoted both osteogenesis and angiogenesis. Results show that combining geometry, materials, and biological signals enables synergistic tissue regeneration, offering less-invasive alternatives to autologous bone grafts.

This research designs bespoke, lightweight 3D-printed breast prostheses for women after mastectomy. Using body scanning and personalised materials, the prostheses improve comfort, symmetry, and fit compared to standard silicone forms. The project aims to help women move from surviving breast cancer to thriving with confidence and comfort.

This research explores sprayable electroluminescent materials that allow users to create displays of any shape on almost any surface. By combining conductive 3D-printed structures with sprayed active layers, the project aims to democratise display fabrication, decentralise production, and enable new forms of human–computer interaction beyond traditional rectangular screens.
