Multi-Material 3D-Printing and Ultrafast High-Temperature Co-Sintering of Layered Structures for Energy Devices
RApid, precise fabrication of multi-material energy components using 3d printing and ultrafast sintering
Energy conversion and storage systems such as solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs), batteries, and super capacitors require multi-material components with precise microstructural control. Conventional sintering of ceramic and composite layers is time-consuming, energy-intensive, and can lead to grain growth, porosity collapse, and material degradation. Developing faster, efficient, and tunable manufacturing approaches for layered, multi-material structures is critical to accelerate prototyping, enhance performance, and reduce material waste in both terrestrial and space applications.
This project is funded by the European Space Agency (ESA) and carried out in collaboration with AMAREA Technology, TU Eindhoven, and the University of Twente. For further clarification and detailed information regarding the project, kindly contact:
