I've completed research projects on the adoption of 3D printing and supervised Master's students rather than complete my PhD on the topic.
In some of our publications, my colleagues and I have provided some suggestions on the future directions in which researchers could advance the research domain. I hope these might prove useful starting points.

As i am aware of the Additive Manufacturing is one of the best approach in which the work can be done and in recent years many people also done many thing in this in my college one PhD scholar is working on controlling the temperature at the tip where the output of the fluent take place in FDM and as i am masters student i have studied the subject and work in the lab for 6 months. Can anyone suggest me any new possibilities on which PhD can be done in future or the research work can be started.
I am working at the moment in Additive Manufacturing for PhD. There are certain things to consider before doing the PhD.
Firstly, the machine used and the research area of the group you are about to join. Some of the areas are getting outdated and one must be wise enough to understand and choose the group focusing on the current AM challenges.
Secondly and also importantly, is the safety provided to you. One has to know whether they are operating the machine or a technician would do the work. If it is the former, safety is paramount (in both cases too), as there is hidden danger during the machine operation and proper safety measures has to be established and followed in the group for personal safety.
On a side note, India is not a right place because of the lack of machine availability. So far to my knowledge, only two institutes have the AM metal machines (most-rapidly growing domain in AM) and people are dying to join the group.
If anyone of you are doing additive manufacturing process simulation please guide me to cover material phase change phenomenon using ABAQUS. I know a user subroutine is used but I dnt know how to cover distinguish powder, solid and liquid in subroutine.
As I am planning to start my research work in this 3 D printing area so kindly suggest any best University in Canada to start my PhD or any person well known for research in 3D printing in Canada.
As you are interested in Additive Manufacturing ..I Recommend you to approach these institutions for the PH.D
1 - Academy of Excellence for Advanced Manufacturing Technology CMTI Bangalore Contact: V A P Sarma, HOD E-mail : sarmavap[dot]cmti[at]nic[dot]in -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 - Centre for Product Design and Manufacturing (CPDM) Indian Institute of Science (IISc), https://cpdm.iisc.ac.in/cpdm/researchtheme.php
Yes, I am working on 4D Printing- Its additive manufacturing of smart materials, My research topic revolves around the additive manufacturing of biomedical stent using shape memory alloy for biomedical application.
So far i have read research papers in which the work is done only for the FDM of polymer.
If someone is working on FDM of NITINOL (metal composite) then please suggest me the set up to do the experimental work for research here in India Delhi NCR region.
I am working on the FEM simulation of Additive Manufacturing. I am stuck with a DFLUX user subroutine on the circular section. Could someone please resolve the problem as heat source is not properly moving on a circular path? CAE, Fortran, and other parameters are attached herewith. Thank you in advance for your help
