Summary

With the advent of 3D printers which can print individual layers of materials far smaller than the size of a human hair, the opportunity to develop "digital materials", such as digital ABS, with a range of mechanical properties, has arisen.  Using analytical, computational and experimental methods this project seeks to develop new and innovative digital materials for specific applications and industries, such as the aerospace, automotive and marine.  The project includes advanced digital manufacturing and modelling methods, such as 3D voxel printing, as well as advanced analytical techniques, in order to investigate the performance of the materials' microstructures.
