What's the role?
Additive Manufacturing is an emerging technology within the industrial manufacturing environment. Especially the shortening of lead times in prototyping as well as maintenance work shows the immense potential of the Additive Manufacturing of different metal and polymeric materials. Until today, this manufacturing technology is not yet fully integrated, and the application boundaries of such parts are not completely understood.
Your role in this project is to design feasible Additive Manufactured parts for metal forming tools, support their manufacturing process and analyze the (mechanical) performance of the finished tooling part.
Start date is flexible to your availability (ideally from Feb/Mar 2023), for a minimum of 6 months.
