Researcher in Ecological Assessment of Additive Manufacturing

vor 1 Monat


Aachen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Deutschland Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Vollzeit

In collaboration with the Chair of Laser Technology LLT, the Fraunhofer Institute for Laser Technology ILT offers an opportunity to engage in a thesis project.

Additive manufacturing processes, such as Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF), enable near-net-shape production of components, enhancing functional integration while minimizing material usage. This approach is pivotal for advancing sustainability in future product development and manufacturing processes. Unlike traditional manufacturing methods, the tool-free production of components presents significant ecological and economic advantages.

The thesis will focus on developing a methodology to assess the ecological impact of various additive manufacturing processes.

While knowledge of additive manufacturing and sustainability management is beneficial, it is not a prerequisite.

Responsibilities include:

  • Conducting research on current ecological assessment methods and additive manufacturing processes
  • Creating an evaluation framework and comparing key metrics for additive manufacturing
  • Assessing ecological impacts in comparison to conventional manufacturing processes
  • Formulating recommendations based on findings
  • Documenting the research outcomes

Qualifications:

  • Enrollment in a technical or scientific degree program (e.g., mechanical engineering, materials science, physics)
  • Interest in applied research and development
  • Strong commitment, creativity, and an independent, reliable work ethic
  • Proficiency in German

What to expect:

  • Hands-on thesis experience in an innovative environment
  • Access to well-equipped laboratories and state-of-the-art machinery
  • A creative, interdisciplinary team atmosphere
  • Flexible working hours to support a balanced work-study life
  • Convenient transportation options

The position is temporary until the completion of the thesis.

Fraunhofer values and promotes the diversity of its employees' skills and welcomes applications from all individuals, regardless of age, gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, ideology, disability, sexual orientation, and identity. Preference will be given to severely disabled applicants in cases of equal suitability.

Fraunhofer plays a crucial role in the innovation process by developing key technologies essential for the future and facilitating their commercial application in industry.

Interested candidates are encouraged to apply online.
