After several years of research in the area of additive manufacturing, biofabrication, and additively manufactured biomaterials and implants, I finally put up the first version of the website of my lab. I will gradually improve the website, but there is already links to all publications coming out of my lab in the general area of AM.
Advancements in additive manufacturing technology have created the ability to design and construct parts with geometries and properties that cannot be achieved through traditional machining processes. This ability has promoted new design strategies whose success relies on close integration of engineering with materials science. Of particular interest is tailoring specific material properties in low-volume production.
Applications are invited for a PhD studentship fully funded by the EU research project. The position is for a three-year research program leading to the PhD degree.
"3D printing" is a popular term for the layerwise manufacturing of metals or polymers with a printing head, that builds up the component with droplets of molten polymer or metal into a 3D shape. The geometries that can be realized with this technique, can be very complex, and this with a minimum of material usage, because no material has to be milled away. Further, very lightweight materials can be achieved. Flanders region plays a leading role in Europe in this 3D printing sector, with important industrial players such as Materialise, Layerwise and Melotte.
The Department of Mechanical Engineering at Villanova University has an opening for a tenure-track position in the area of advanced manufacturing. We are seeking to hire an outstanding individual with strong fundamentals. Areas of interest include small-scale manufacturing, additive manufacturing, and advanced materials design, synthesis, and processing. The primary responsibilities are to develop a vibrant research program and to teach undergraduate and graduate courses. Required are a Ph.D.
Hi;
I am trying to simulate material deposition to substrate. In our case material is added to substrate and there is a distributed heat flux with constant velocity acting by node by node. I want to simulate showing the added material in the simulation and its effects. There is a command for that called Model Change in the ABAQUS. So is someone familiar to that kind of problem. And also I need to account mass diffusivity while the material is melting.
I will be gratefull for any advice you can spare
Best Thanks
Emrecan Soylemez
