Project Description
Additive Manufacturing (AM), commonly known as 3D printing, has emerged as a transformative technology with the potential to revolutionize various industries by enabling the fabrication of complex and customized structures. This Ph.D. project aims to develop a new additive manufacturing technique for specific new materials. New 3D Printing machine will be designed and developed. Advanced strategies will also be investigated for optimizing the additive manufacturing process across multiple dimensions, including material selection, process parameters, and print path algorithms. The research will start by systematically characterizing some new materials suitable for additive manufacturing, considering factors such as thermal stability, mechanical properties, and manufacturability. Simulations will be carried out for designing the suitable 3D printer structures. Subsequently, a comprehensive study of process parameters, including temperature, printing speed, print paths and heat distribution, will be conducted to identify optimal conditions for specific materials.
