Design Automation of AM Fluid Components – Development of Design Tools for Case Studies with Industry Partners ETH Zurich pd|z Product Development Group Zurich Design effort and the associated costs are key factors which are limiting the adoption of additive manufacturing in industrial applications. One approach to tackle this problem is the use of automated design tools, which reduce the manual design effort to achieve manufacturable designs. In current research at pdz, we have been working on developing an automated design workflow for hydraulic manifolds. Several steps in the process chain have been tackled so far.

Studying gold-nanoparticle self-assemblies in biological environments: a basic understanding for drug delivery systems Empa Center for X-Ray Analytics The goal of this project will be to create nanoparticle self-assemblies from gold and proteins with specific size, shape and ordering so that these systems can be used as models for applications in drug delivery. Their structure will primarily be characterized by scattering techniques such as small-angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) and dynamic light scattering (DLS) as well as transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Other characterization techniques will also be explored. Cellular Interactions (incl.
