Metal Additive Manufacturing, also known as metal 3D printing, offers the possibility to produce complex metal parts without many of the constraints of traditional manufacturing processes. Our lab is recruiting talents who are interested in the following topics:

(1) Process Analysis of Metal 3D Printing: The primary objective of this project is to perform a comprehensive parametric study of the Directed Energy Deposition (DED) and Selective Laser Melting (SLM) processes for stainless steel. This will involve an in-depth examination of various scanning parameters and their effects on the quality of printed lines, surfaces, and bodies.

(2) Failure Analysis of Metal 3D Printing: The primary objective of this project is to conduct a series of mechanical tests on stainless steel samples fabricated by DED and SLM processes. The study will meticulously examine material properties, metallurgical micrographs, and SEM images to comprehend the failure mechanisms of metal 3D printed materials.
