Bachelor-/ Master Thesis: »Developing of a CAx-Software for rotating Laser Powder Bed Processes«
At the Fraunhofer IPT in Aachen, more than 530 employees are working every day to make the production of the future more digital, more flexible, and more sustainable.
In the Laser Systems and Heating Technologies group, we develop innovative laser systems for the modern production of the future.
Our unique machinery at the Fraunhofer IPT covers prototypical processes of additive manufacturing, micro welding and targeted heating processes as well as ablation processes with high-power lasers.
As part of your thesis, you will investigate the current state of the art of software programs for digital CAx planning of laser-based additive manufacturing processes.
Based on your research, you will program a digital interface for transferring component data to the machine control system.
The thesis is completed by a complete run-through of the digital process chain from design to CAx planning, through data transformation to a successful process.
You will work on some of your tasks on site in our machine park.
What you will do
- Researching CAx chains and digital tools in additive manufacturing, as well as the state of the art
- Development of a concept for slicing components and coordinate transformation
- Programming scripts to convert the CAx data into the required process format
- Visualization and validation of the converted data on the real machine
What you bring to the table
- You are studying mechanical engineering, CES or a comparable field of study
- Initial knowledge of programming with Python or MatLab is advantageous
- Ideally, you have some experience with lasers or additive manufacturing processes
- An independent way of working and enjoy interdisciplinary teamwork
- Good language skills in German and / or English
What you can expect
- Scientific work on a current and practice-relevant topic
- Professional supervision and technical support during the preparation of your thesis
- A state-of-the-art machine park equipped with edge cloud systems and 5G infrastructure
We value and promote the diversity of our employees' skills and therefore welcome all applications - regardless of age, gender, nationality, ethnic and social origin, religion, ideology, disability, sexual orientation and identity.
Severely disabled persons are given preference in the event of equal suitability.
With its focus on developing key technologies that are vital for the future and enabling the commercial utilization of this work by business and industry, Fraunhofer plays a central role in the innovation process.
As a pioneer and catalyst for groundbreaking developments and scientific excellence, Fraunhofer helps shape society now and in the future.
