Project description
Third-cycle subject: Fibre and polymer science
Additive manufacturing enables designs that were previously not possible to manufacture. In order to increase the implementation of additively manufactured products, more innovation and development is required. This project is a unique collaboration between GE Healthcare and KTH, within the framework of Addlife (see below). It aims to develop methods to improve post-processing (finishing), in complex internal channels on selected chemical-resistant polymers.
AddLife is a VINNOVA Competence Centre that gathers more than 20 partners to support competence development in Additive Manufacturing for the Life Sciences. The centre is funded by academia, industry and VINNOVA, with a total budget of approx. 100 MSEK for 5 years.
Supervision: The doctoral student will be supervised by Anna Wistrand. The PhD student will perform work at both KTH and GE Healthcare.
