Offer Description
Mechanical Engineering: Fully Funded PhD Scholarship: Development of an Automated Process for the Design and Manufacture of a Vehicle Body Part
The project scope is to develop and automate the design and manufacture of vehicle body parts using the most advanced technology. Today the time we take to develop vehicle body parts is too long winded. Ordinarily the development and realisation of the design requires multiple iterations within CAD, FEA, and injection moulding software. Tooling and manufacturing of the moulds takes an extremely long time as they are CNC machined from block steel or aluminium and assembled.
The project scope is:
- To gain a deep understanding of each stage of the design, development, and manufacturing route.
- To innovate how we shorten each stage by systematically breaking down the processes into the constituent parts, to allow for a deep understanding, identify bottle necks and opportunities for improvement.
- To optimise strategies to ensure the most efficient process by using the latest technology. The development and use of AI algorithms will be paramount to ensuring success.
- To look for ways to automate the processes conducted in CAD, FEA, mould analyses and manufacturing.
- The objective of the project is that the entire process is realised virtually within software, with little to no engagement by the user, with the output being a tooling design ready for manufacturing and subsequently the injection moulded body part.
