Precision Polishing of Miniature Impellers

The Department of Civil and Mechanical Engineering at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU) invites applications for a 3-year PhD position focused on precision polishing of miniature impellers. This project is part of the EuroTech strategic network, a collaboration between DTU and EPFL in Switzerland.

As part of this collaboration, the PhD student will work closely with DTU Construct, the Laboratory of Applied Mechanical Design at EPFL, and FANUC Europe GmbH. The selected candidate will receive guidance from academic supervisors and industrial experts from FANUC Europe GmbH.

This research aims to develop innovative manufacturing solutions for miniature impellers using additive manufacturing processes. The goal is to create hardware and software tools that enable the production of miniature thin-wall feature components with high geometrical accuracy and low surface roughness.

The PhD student will develop micro-polishing solutions for processing low-stiffness elements like turbine blades, addressing challenges related to tool and workpiece compliance. They will also create a Digital Twin of the part/process/system suitable for application in efficient production lines.

The position includes both theoretical and experimental work and carries project as well as academic responsibilities. The scientific work must be positioned relative to current literature and published in conference and journal articles.

Candidates are required to have an excellent academic background and strong knowledge of production engineering technologies and manufacturing systems for subtractive manufacturing. Good knowledge of process monitoring, manufacturing metrology, FEA, CAD/CAM, and programming tools like Matlab is highly desirable.

You must have a two-year master's degree (120 ECTS points) or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree.

The appointment will be based on the collective agreement with the Danish Confederation of Professional Associations.
