Engineer - Additive manufacturing, 3D modeling and printing
Contract type : Fixed-term contract
Level of qualifications required : Graduate degree or equivalent
Fonction : Temporary scientific engineer
Context
Within the framework of the KARTS and DORNELL ERC Synergie projects, the engineer in additive manufacturing will be in charge of the 3D modeling and printing of maquettes used in physical experiments. This will be achived by using existing research software tools from the team as well as commercial software.
The fabricated components will be printed in resin and filament at the Loria laboratory alongside the research team [MFX](https://mfx.loria.fr/). The components will be used for experiments defined in the project KARST (fluid behavior mesurement) and DORNELL (devices for poeple with physical disabilites.)
Assignment
The engineer will work alongside members of the research teams involved regarding the effectiveness of the fabrication procedure and will also participate in the development of new additive manufacturing methodologies.
The MFX (Matter From Graphics) research time specializes in computer graphics and particularly in additive manufacturing. The team proposes new techniques and strategies for 3D printing.
Main activities
- 3D resin printing of complex and big models
- 3D modeling of objects with mechanical properties
- Handling and maintenance of 3D resin printers
- Handling and maintenance of 3D filament printers (including robot arms and multi-material machines)
- Use of 3D printing software for slicing of big and complex models
- Coordination with outside teams to define experiment needs and parameters, and also develope solutions to solve issues born out of these.
