Research lab
The literature research in this research laboratory should aim to review the current state of knowledge and also to develop suitable transfer methodologies.
© IKVThe development of a new manufacturing process for the production of injection-molded analog components with locally defined fiber architecture under defined solidification conditions using additive manufacturing requires a transfer methodology that can be used to predict component properties. The aim is to develop a transfer methodology that aims to correlate the properties of injection molded components based on additively manufactured test specimens in terms of their geometry and morphology. The aim of the literature research in the research laboratory is to work through the current status and also to develop suitable transfer methods.
The work is related to this research project
The work is part of the Collaborative Research Center TRR 402 “DediGrad”, in which, among other things, a highly adaptive production process for injection-molded components with continuously configurable fiber architecture is being researched. The aim is to research a manufacturing process for intrinsically graded, additively manufactured test specimens, which are then heated above the melting point in an external mold and subsequently converted into injection-molded components.
These could be your tasks:
- Literature research on the comparability and transferability of component properties between injection molding and additive manufacturing
- Illustration of the comparability of injection molding and additive manufacturing
- Development of suitable transfer methods
These are your benefits
- Work in a young and motivated team
- Independent work with intensive support
- Co-design of current research projects
- Individual coordination of tasks and time frame
- Use of the IKV-AF machine park (FFF)
- Fast processing
- Immediate start possible
- It is important to me that you not only gain specialist knowledge, but also learn skills in scientific work and writing.
Your profile
- Study mechanical engineering / industrial engineering, specializing in mechanical engineering
- Interest in injection molding and additive manufacturing
