Offer Descriptionto carry out a post-doctoral research project on additive manufacturing of metals by Metal Jetting. The research will be focused on powder characterisation in its fresh state as well as after several conditioning and printed cycles. This research will devise the powder surface analysis and its macro behaviour, in order to develop use practices or mitigation strategies to ensure powder physical properties stability. This is directly translated in printed quality stability and cost by reducing powder waste and minimizing process iteration, which increase circular economy. Moreover, powder-binder interactions will be studied by novel infiltration mechanisms.The candidate will carry out his/her research work at IMDEA Materials Institute (Madrid) but will closely interact with HP 3D Printing, as well as AMES Group (Barcelona).
