| Large-scale polymer 3D printing offers unique geometric freedom and performance integration, enabling the creation of lightweight, sustainable, and functional facade systems. Within the existing research efforts of NCCR DFAB, this project focuses specifically on mechanical testing to compare different polymer materials for use in 3D-printed facade systems. The research evaluates mechanical properties such as bending, impact, and tensile strength to determine the most suitable materials for lightweight facade components. Comparisons are made based on how the materials meet mechanical performance requirements for functional facades. - Building

| Digital and robotic fabrication techniques are increasingly being explored to create building components with embedded functionalities, offering unparalleled opportunities for customization.
As the adoption of robotic 3D printing grows, it becomes crucial to evaluate the environmental impacts of these processes, particularly their energy consumption and associated emissions. Understanding these impacts is essential to assess the sustainability of robotic 3D printing processes.
This project, enabled by real-world data provided by Saeki Robotics, aims to develop a predictive model to assess and forecast energy consumption and emissions in robotic 3D printing. - Architecture, Urban Environment and Building

| Diaxxo, an innovative ETH Zürich spinoff, is transforming diagnostics with cutting-edge PCR technology that combines lab-grade accuracy with field-ready simplicity. Our mission is to enable faster, affordable, and accessible detection of viral and bacterial infections, driving impact in animal health, food safety, and human diagnostics.
We are seeking a motivated student or part-time worker to join our team in Zürich, starting February 2025 (or a mutually agreed date). This role involves contributing to the assembly of devices and cartridges, lab-based tasks, and quality control. It’s an excellent opportunity to gain hands-on experience in a dynamic startup environment while supporting our mission to revolutionize diagnostics. No specific experience is required—just motivation, commitment, and adaptability. - Biomedical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Chemistry, Manufacturing Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Medical and Health Sciences

| The goal of the project is to test and optimize a smart sock prototype for plantar pressure measurements that was previously developed in the lab. The prototype will be optimized based on its ability to track pressure during everyday activities as a wearable device. Tests on healthy participants performing standard movements (e.g., walking, climbing stairs, etc) will be performed to compare the sock performance to a commercial gold standard smart insole system. This technology can be used for plantar pressure monitoring in diverse wearable applications ranging from healthcare to sports. - Biomedical Engineering
