Design and Development of 3D Printed Force Transducers

Project description

3D-printed transducers for the improvement of additive manufacturing

Additive manufacturing and 3D printing have proven effective in creating complex, efficient and durable products across various industries, such as manufacturing, research and medicine. However, their widespread adoption remains unrealised. The MSCA-funded ENFORCER project aims to demonstrate their practicality by developing 3D-printed transducers in various forms and configurations. This offers an opportunity to showcase the versatility of additive manufacturing for real-world applications and create models for extreme multi-physics scenarios, thereby expanding the possibilities of 3D printing. Additionally, this project aligns with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.

Objective

Additive manufacturing (AM), as an advanced manufacturing technique, has the potential to transform the landscape of product development, manufacturing, and logistics, as well as increase sustainability in a variety of industries. Over the past ten years, AM, has gained widespread acceptance for producing various engineering and scientific components for research, commercial, and even medicinal uses. The aim of the project is to design and develop 3D printed force transducers. The specific objectives of the project are to contribute to the development of realistic concepts, realizing that transducers are of many sorts and configurations. The formulation of a model for extreme multi-physics situations is a significant goal of the work. The project has a strong multidisciplinary aspect, combining well-developed mechanics, material science, metrology, machine design, and computational analysis. This proposal includes both the transfer of knowledge to the host institution and the training of the candidate in new advanced techniques. This project is in line with the EU strategy for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
