Beschreibung

The Chair of Carbon Composites (LCC) is researching innovative methods and concepts for extrusion-based
additive manufacturing. The widely used fused filament fabrication (FFF) process is ideal for manufacturing
functional components thanks to the equipment and process technology used and the high degree of automation
involved. It is the subject of a seminar and practical course in which students learn the most important aspects
of this process in a practical setting. To prepare for this seminar, we are looking for a Hiwi (research assistant)
for a total of 60 hours, starting immediately and continuing until December 2025.
As part of the 3D printing seminar, a total of three 3D printers will be
assembled, set up, and tested. The 3D printers are based on the
Prusa MK3S+ printers, with slight design modifications. The seminar
also includes teaching content on software packages that are relevant
for working with 3D printers. The HiWi’s task is to revise the CAD design
instructions, which were created in Autodesk Fusion 360 and
need to be updated to the newer version of Fusion 360. In addition, a
few design changes need to be incorporated. Knowledge and experience
with Fusion 360 or Inventor are therefore a great advantage.
Furthermore, the Hiwi position also includes practical work, in which
the currently assembled 3D printers are to be tested and then carefully
dismantled. Instructions and parts lists for sorting are available and
should be supplemented as needed.
