Project details
This project offers a chance to work on a truly disruptive and innovative research project in high-tech and high-value manufacturing, with a very high potential impact in aerospace and energy sectors. This project runs under a consortium between Loughborough University and a British innovative industrial partner, Photocentric Ltd.

This project positions in the between two very innovative and got topic research area of machine learning and additive manufacturing, and aims for developing deep-learning algorithms to predict and thus improve dimensional accuracy and stability of 3D printed products.

This research intends to focus on a novel LCD-based stereolithography 3D printing with high print resolution needed for highly accurate applications. However, to minimise deformation during print and post-print operations, a deep-learning model will be developed and trained to predict shrinkage, deformations, and shrinkages to enable the designers to better design the parts and 3D print processes.
