NON-METALLIC ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING DIVISION

NON-METALLIC ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING DIVISION

The Non-Metallic Additive Manufacturing Division (DFANM) is one of the three divisions of the Additive Manufacturing Research Unit (URFA/CRTI). The mission of this division is to conduct in-depth research on the different axes of non-metallic additive manufacturing for various applications in the fields of health, energy, industry, and the environment.

The main research axes of this division (DFANM) are:

Study and development of non-metallic materials (polymers, composites, ceramics, biomaterials, and functional materials), considering their compatibility with 3D printing techniques and the requirements of targeted applications.

Design and optimization of parts and processes in non-metallic additive manufacturing.

Multi-material additive manufacturing and integration of multifunctional components.

Additive manufacturing for medical applications, including patient-specific devices, scaffolds, and medical implants.

Quality control, characterization, and performance evaluation of additive manufacturing materials and fabricated products.

Surface treatment, finishing, and post-processing of additively manufactured components.
