- Title of project: ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING: PROCESS DEVELOPMENT, MODELING, AND APPLICATIONS
- Funding agency (Optional): Multiple
- Description: Additive manufacturing (AM), the process of joining materials to make objects from three-dimensional (3D) model data, usually layer by layer, is distinctly a different form and has many advantages over traditional manufacturing processes. Commonly known as “3D printing,” AM provides a cost-effective and time-efficient way to produce low-volume, customized products with complicated geometries and advanced material properties and functionality. At the Florida Advanced Manufacturing and System Integration Lab, our AM/3D printing interest includes: 1) printing process modeling and automation (for inkjetting, laser-induced forward transfer, extrusion, and stereolithography), 2) material development for the printing of engineering structures and biological constructs, and 3) organ-on-a-chip development using 3D printing.
- Restrictions/Constraints: Typically none
- Knowledge and skills needed: Depending on specific projects, knowledge of mechanical design/automation, solid mechanics, fluid dynamics, and/or chemistry/biology may be helpful.
- How to apply: Send CV (with GPA and GRE score) and a short research interest statement to Dr. Huang.
