Metal-Ceramic Additive Manufacturing Printer Teknofest Award

A printer capable of printing both metal and ceramic materials together has been developed in the project. The project was carried out with the support of Istanbul Technical University (ITU) Research Fund Unit (BAP), TEKNOFEST, and TUBITAK. With the developed printer, participation was made in the TEKNOFEST Technology Competition for the benefit of humanity in the university and higher education category. The project received the Best Presentation Award. Project Team: ITU-TAM, Team Leader: Muhammet Ali Yıkılmaz

The 27th ITU Mechanical Engineering Faculty Festival

The 27th ITU Mechanical Engineering Faculty Festival was held. As part of the festival, a representative graduation ceremony was held for our 40th, 30th and 20th year graduates. A nostalgic lesson was also given by Prof. Dr. Haluk KARADOĞAN.

TUSAŞ - ITU Facult of Mechanical Engineering Cooperation

On Wednesday, May 3, 2023, meetings were held with the TUSAŞ Computational Engineering Director and his team at the Blue Hall of the ITU Mechanical Engineering Department. Within the scope of this visit, it was aimed to create university-industry cooperation projects.

Developing software that can make EasySections section calculations

In this project, a software has been developed that can make cross-section calculations of ready-made profiles as well as random section profiles. Numerical integration method is used in the software. The entire program is written using the Delphi (Pascal) language. Ease of use is prioritized in the program, which has a detailed interface design as well as important drawing and calculation capabilities. Project Manager: Assoc. Dr. Adil Yücel

Engineering Teaching Platform Development Project

A platform development work continues in order to reinforce the concepts that engineering students learn during the lessons. There are various modules on the platform designed in this context, and data can be exchanged between these modules. Project Manager: Prof. Dr. Erkan Ayder
