Your role and responsibilities
You will be part of Materials Technology & Energy Storage team at ABB Corporate Research in Västerås, Sweden. At Corporate Research we lead the innovation within ABB and our task is to ensure ABB's technology competitiveness now and in the future. We work in close collaboration with other research centers, our business areas: Motion, Process Automation, Robotics & Discrete Automation and Electrification, as well academic and industrial partners. In our creative and highly skilled team we develop, design, build and test new concepts and prototypes of physical and digital powertrains or electrical devices.
Metal additive manufacturing is increasingly being adopted by industry and parts are typically machined before assembly. In this project, we systematically test the thickness limit for printing thin walls using LW-DED technology. We use this knowledge to assess the sustainability benefits vs. traditional 3D printing + machining approach. The work includes planning of tests, material characterisation, sustainability assessment and reporting. The scope of the work will be tuned based on the technical background of the student.
