This research investigates the development of a hybrid manufacturing process combining injection moulding and additive manufacturing for enhanced product customisation.
Developed an optimised hybrid process integrating 3D geometries and lattice structures into injection moulded parts.
Conducted initial trials on representative samples focusing on adhesion, accuracy, and manufacturability.
Studied compatible materials for both manufacturing processes and established design guidelines.
Demonstrated the feasibility of the proposed hybrid method for producing customisable functional plastic products.
Showed significant potential for economically viable product personalisation through one unique tooling.
