About

MA (Hons), MSc, PhD, MIMA, Prof Grad IMMM, FHEA

Dr Nicholas Lavery is Director of the Materials Advanced Characterisation Centre (MACH1), and the lead academic of the Swansea Additive Manufacturing Research (SAMR) group.

Dr Lavery's research interests lie broadly in the use of material property measurement, computational modelling and experimental studies to develop novel industrial manufacturing processes and materials, with applications to engineering products in aerospace, medical, automotive and energy production.

Current research areas:

Additive Manufacturing (specifically Laser Powder-bed Fusion)
High Throughput Material Property Testing (MACH1)
Computational modelling of various manufacturing processes (Additive Layer Manufacturing, Extrusion, Isostatic Powder Pressing, Sintering …)
Rapid Alloy Prototyping
Life Cycle Assessment

Over time spent in academic and industry, I have established a very wide range of international research collaboration demonstrated by the invitation to participate in and develop a number of EC FP7/H2020 proposals.

I am a recognised outstanding reviewer for the Journal of Alloys and Compounds, the Journal of Additive Manufacturing and the Journal of Applied Mathematical Modelling.

I have been an International reviewer for Additive Manufacturing proposals for the Canadian Innovation Foundation and the Singapore Science and Engineering Research Council.

Taught Modules

EG-M37 Additive Manufacturing

1.1 Introduction to Additive Manufacturing 1.3 Additive Manufacturing Processes 1.3 Applications of Additive Manufacturing 1.4 Mechanics of the Powder Bed System 1.5 Physics of Additive Manufacturing 1.6 AM Defects and Process Control 1.7 Measurement and analysis of AM properties 1.8 Computer Aided Engineering of AM Parts 1.9 Powder Metals 1.10 Design for AM and part preparation
EGA266 Digital Manufacturing

Within this module students will learn about digital manufacturing, from its role in concept development through to prototype production and small batch manufacture. They will be introduced to the way in which manufacturing is changing and the future possibilities presented by emerging digital manufacturing technologies. They will work individually to fabricate a digital manufacturing machine (3DPrinter), which they will calibrate and produce test parts on, as well as their own design of a 3DPrinted engineering design.
EGA324 Mechanical Engineering Practice

The course builds on the knowledge and experience developed by the students in experimental studies during Level 2. A number of advanced scientific experiments will be undertaken. In addition, students will carry out a number of modelling benchmark problems in order to develop their ability to create appropriate models, interpret the predictions and compare them with alternative solutions.
