Electrical and magnetic properties of 3D printed metallic materials
Supervisor: MARÓTI, Péter
Co-supervisor: TOLD, Roland
Investigation of the electrical (conductivity, signal transmission) and magnetic properties of metal containing 3D printed polymers (PLA, ABS), i.e. how the magnetic field affects the printing parameters and the properties of the final sample. The determination of these material properties is important for further preclinical, clinical applications such as orthotics, prosthetics.
Skills, prior knowledge: basic mechanical and electrical knowledge
Heatable container build for medical material testing
Supervisor: MARÓTI, Péter
Co-supervisor: TOLD, Roland
Construction of a heatable container and thermostat, in which the testing samples would be keep on body temperature during the test time (37 °C). The container shape needs to be compatible the Zwick/Roell test machines. And the heating circulation has to be isolate from the container, that the tank can be filled any material (salt solution, blood).
Skills, prior knowledge: Basic mechanical and electrical knowledge
Utilizing additive manufacturing for dental implant design
Supervisor: MARÓTI, Péter
Co-supervisor: KARDOS, Kinga
Designing dental implants utilizing the opportunities provided by additive manufacturing involves the creation and optimization of a 3D model. This process focuses on achieving precise fit and optimal performance, considering both biomedical and materials technology criteria.

Damage Control Thoracic Surgery: animal model
Supervisor: MOLNÁR, F. Tamás DSc PhD
Chest drainage and management of penetrating cardiac injury are the two main challenges of modern thoracic surgery for trauma. Affordability and quality of simulation are limiting the scope of skill labs covering these issues. Development and trest of hybrid approaches are in the centre of topics of the project.
