Additive manufacturing of metal alloys yields great potential for the aerospace industry (and others) as it allows the generation of geometrically complex structures with high specific strength, low density and high corrosion resistance. For example, General Electric has demonstrated the possibility of printing titanium fuel injectors for their LEAP engine, EADS has printed a nacelle hinge bracket for the Airbus A320, Boeing incorporated more than 300 printed parts in their 777X airplane … For such critical applications, the structural quality of printed parts is of utmost importance.
The Simpleware Product Group at Synopsys are running a webinar on March 2nd on using AI solutions to lift the burden of manual CT inspections for turbine blades.

Transportation of heavy acidic fluids is often done with specifically designed lined pipelines. The pipelines typically have an outer steel wall (thickness ~15 mm) and an inner ceramic coating (thickness ~1 mm). The proper functioning of such lined pipelines is almost exclusively determined by the inner ceramic coating. In case there would be a leak in the ceramic coating, the acidic fluid will corrode through the outer steel wall in a matter of hours, leading to a full shutdown of the industrial plant.
Join us for this webinar on Wednesday, May 20th, where we'll be looking at methods for identifying part defacts using Simpleware software.
We'll look at an example of working with a machined simple hole plate (usually used for CT calibration) to focus on tools useful for Non-Destructive Testing (NDT) and the production of manufactured parts. We will show automated tools for segmentation and correction, as well as surface deviation, shape fitting and measurement tools.

Ghent University (Belgium) has three open PhD positions of each 4 years on ultrasound inspection of layered materials, ranging from composites over coated pipelines to wood. More information can be found on http://www.composites.ugent.be/PhD_job_vacancies_PhD_job_positions_comp….
The use of 3D printed metal structures is taking a very fast ramp-up in industry. General Electric has demonstrated the possibility of printing titanium fuel injectors for their LEAP engine, EADS has printed a nacelle hinge bracket for the Airbus A320, Boeing is printing plastic inlet ducts for high-altitude aircrafts, hip implants and other prosthetics are exploiting the design freedom of additive manufacturing (AM),..
We look for 4 postdoctoral researchers (or equivalent by experience) in the field of software development for and nondestructive inspection of 3D printed components. The targeted sectors of application are medical and high-end industrial applications. Companies are strongly involved in the research projects.
