The project implemented by Eralp Demir, member of Sabancı University Faculty of Engineering and Natural Sciences, is entitled to support within the framework of the TÜBİTAK 2247-B European Research Council (ERC) Projects Support Program.
Eralp Demir’s project is entitled “Prototype Development forPowder-Based Layered Manufacturing”. The project aims to develop a manufacturing platform with a prototype add-on for use in innovative process monitoring systems research.
The project will last two years and, in addition to acting as project coordinator, Eralp Demir will work on project tasks such as determining the general operating principles of the system and microstructure analysis of materials produced.
Talking about the importance and details of the project, Demir said, “The additive manufacturing system, which is the output of this project, will be developed to monitor manufacturing processes in a laboratory environment. This will enable us to complete the necessary preliminary work to be eligible to ERC project applications.”
The aim of the TÜBİTAK'ın 2247-B ERC program is to provide support for researchers in order to improve/strengthen their projects which have the potential to make significant discoveries and/or inventions and be able to receive support from the European Research Council (ERC) to increase the rate of return to our country from European Union funds.
