December 5, 2024
The new materials networking association Forschungsvereinigung Neue Materialien eV has named Vincent Müller the winner of its 2024 New Materials Innovation Award for his bachelor’s thesis centred on the industrial Additive Manufacturing of hardmetals.
‘Erforschung der Prozessparameter für den Filamentdruck von porenfreien Bauteilen aus Hartmetall’ (’Research into the process parameters for filament printing of non-porous components made of hardmetal’) was supervised by Prof Dr-Ing Stephan Tremmel, Dr-Ing Tobias Rosnitschek (both of Universität Bayreuth), and Dr-Ing Dehua Chen of Neue Materialien Bayreuth GmbH. The results were developed in close collaboration with industry partners Klaus Trott (GMtec) and Peter Würtele.
This work was conducted as part of the project KK5027509KL2, funded by the Bundesministerium für Wirtschaft und Klimaschutz (Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Climate Protection) through the Central Innovation Programme for SMEs.
