Description:
|
Big changes are brought by 3D printing in various industries nowadays. Metal 3D printing opens up opportunities for engineers to make the ‘impossible’ product. The aim of this project is to build up a chamber in conjunction with a lab-designed metal 3D printer. At the end of the project, the research group needs to deliver a functional chamber which have a good sealing ability and a easy-to-operate vacuum system with close- or open-loop inert gas system. The research team will be creating solutions to figure out the engineering challenges.
