Additive manufacturing is the general name of production methods in which three-dimensional (3D) objects are created by superimposing ceramic, metal, polymer or composite materials in layers. Additive manufacturing, which was developed for prototype production in the 1980s, is now used in almost every field, especially in sectors such as space, aviation and biomedical. Additive manufacturing techniques have taken different names according to the type of material used and the way of joining, such as melt-up modeling (FDM), binder jetting (BJ), selective laser sintering (SLS), selective laser melting (SLM), electron beam melting (EBM).
As the BIOENAMS R&D group, scientific studies are carried out on the development of FDM, SLA and BJ type 3D printers and optimizing production parameters for different materials such as polymer, ceramic, metal and composite.
The following studies are carried out by the BİOENAMS R&D group in the field of additive manufacturing technologies.
- Prototype development with FDM and SLA type 3D printer
Optimizing production parameters for thermoplastic polymers with different properties
- Forming polymer, ceramic and metal powder materials with Binder Jetting 3D printer
- Implant development for biomedical applications
