Mechanical Digital Twin of Additively Manufactured Components

About the role

Join ABB's Materials Technology & Electromagnetics team in Västerås to develop a mechanical digital twin for additively manufactured parts. The project runs from February to July and counts for 30 ECTS credits.

Key responsibilities

• Set up a digital twin that reproduces the as‑built geometry of metal‑additive‑manufactured components.
• Use process simulation tools to predict geometry and validate results with 3D scanning.
• Perform finite‑element analysis for selected load scenarios.

Required profile

• Technical background in materials, mechanical engineering, physics or a related field.
• Understanding of basic solid mechanics concepts.
• Proficiency in English (spoken and written).
• Strong team spirit and ability to work independently.

Required skills

• FEM simulation using ANSYS or equivalent software.
• Experience with 3D scanning for validation (preferred).
• Coding skills are a plus but not mandatory.
