Urgent! Bachelor-/ Master Thesis: »Simulation of fluid dynamics in the rotating Laser Powder Bed Process« Job Opening In Aachen – Now Hiring Fraunhofer

Bachelor / Master Thesis: »Simulation of fluid dynamics in the rotating Laser Powder Bed Process«



Job description


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. 


 


Within the scope of your thesis, you will investigate the current state of the art of process simulations in the field of laser-based additive manufacturing processes.

Based on your research, you will carry out a melt pool and powder bed simulation for a highly dynamic rotating powder bed process.

The thesis will be completed by validating your simulation results.

You will work on part of your tasks on site at our machine park.


 


What you will do



  • Researching the state of the art and the fluid dynamic behavior of powders and melts

  • Carrying out basic powder analyses to determine the fluid dynamics

  • Development of simulation-based investigations to determine behavior

  • Validation of the results in a real system


 


What you bring to the table



  • You are studying mechanical engineering, physics or a comparable subject

  • Initial knowledge of FEM simulation with programs such as Ansys is an advantage 

  • 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. 


Interested?
