Description

Abstract
The strategic focus of CDRSP is to emerge as a Centre with worldwide impact in the field of Direct Digital Manufacturing (DDM) based on Additive Manufacturing (AM), sometimes known as three -dimensional printing (3DP). This goal is well aligned to the needs of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, in terms of preparing and skilling a new generation of work force who can take up the emerging challenges in this area, both in academia and industry. To fulfil its objectives, CDRSP strategic research programme for 2019 has and will continue balancing strengths in Computational and Mathematical Methods, Advanced Materials and study of Novel Manufacturing Processes, which is well aligned with CDRSP research programme for 2015-2018. This is based on three main research pillars: 1) Novel computational and mathematical methods for AM/3DP Mathematical structures that can be efficiently used not only to handle the information, but also to control the algorithms in a robust and efficient way, play a key role in AM/3DP. In the past, a 3D object was modelled by the oriented surface of its boundary (STL format). A recent challenge was dealing with multi-material objects. This problem has been solved by the development of more efficient algorithms that deal with several 3D objects at the same time, while keeping integrity. It is expected to develop new mathematical structures to accommodate more complex multi-material objects for AM/3DP. 2) Novel manufacturing processes Since 2013 we have been actively dedicated to the development of novel manufacturing processes, mainly, those related with AM/3DP for Biomedical and Industrial applications. Nevertheless, tissue engineering (TE) relies on an optimal triad of scaffolds, cells and biological factors. Thus, we are able to develop novel AM biomanufacturing systems capable to produce bioactive hybrid and functional multi-material structures through the exploitation of micro-stereo-thermal-lithography system and a novel hybrid biomanufacturing system which enables the integration and synchronization of different stages of manufacturing, namely in-situ control and sterilisation of 3D scaffolds. A large-scale AM Robotic system will be optimised to produce real large size parts and products for industrial applications. 3) Advanced Materials Controlling and characterization of multi-scale materials is a research challenge. The properties of products depend both on the chemical configuration of the material and the processing used to shape the material. AM technologies are no different to other manufacturing processes.
