Additive Manufacturing

Our laboratory conducts cutting-edge research on the design and fabrication of next-generation lightweight and high-strength structures for the aerospace and biomedical sectors. To achieve superior specific strength, which is a critical requirement for aerospace structural materials, we focus on the precision modeling of complex lattice and gyroid structures and the optimization of Additive Manufacturing (AM) process parameters to ensure high-fidelity realization.
Beyond simple fabrication, we manipulate material microstructures at the nano-level by controlling additive process variables. Our approach integrates mechanical property evaluations with Finite Element Method (FEM) simulations. This entire process is iteratively refined through a tight feedback loop. This allows us to provide innovative and high-performance structural solutions that ensure reliability in extreme environments, ranging from drones and aircraft components to human implants.
