PhD opening in 3D printed stone for heritage buildings

The Chair for Digital Building Technologies invites applications for a PhD position on the 3D printing of stone for the restoration of heritage buildings. The doctorate rests on two closely coupled lines of work: the development of a new powder-bed printing system with spatially graded material deposition, and its use to produce replacement parts for historic stone structures. This PhD is part of the collaborative ETH Grant project "Spatially graded 3D printing to elucidate contour scaling of building stones", and will be conducted in close exchange with a second doctoral researcher at the Chair for Physical Chemistry of Building Materials in the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering.
