Our PhD candidate, Saber Zolfaghari, is presenting his research on a novel 3D-printed joint connector for tubular and I-beam sections at the 5th Coordination Meeting in Pordenone. Leveraging the potential of WAAM and supported by FEM-based structural performance analysis, the designed joints aim to minimize stress concentration areas while achieving significant mass reduction.
– The Politecnico di Milano is leading an international consortium dedicated to improving resource efficiency in the construction and automotive sectors through metal 3D printing.
– It is hoped that additive manufacturing technology will help usher in a new era of increased customisation and optimisation and allow companies to reduce waste and energy consumption during the steel manufacturing process.
