Project description
3D printing is currently undergoing a transformation from plastics and polymers towards metals as the materials of choice and its viability for serious prototyping and manufacture is seeing an explosion in the number of users and companies who are finding it convenient for testing new ideas. This project will combine physics, nanotechnology and materials engineering with two collaborations - one with Ecole Centrale Nantes in France and CDU Darwin with LMD and CS techniques, to better understand the influence of printing methods on the properties and longevity of the printed material.
Co-supervisors
