Trosolwyg
Rwy'n rhan o'r grŵp ymchwil Mecaneg, Deunyddiau a Gweithgynhyrchu Uwch yn Ysgol Peirianneg Prifysgol Caerdydd.
Mae gen i dros 20 mlynedd o brofiad mewn Gweithgynhyrchu Ychwanegion (AM) ac mae fy niddordebau ymchwil yn cynnwys:
- Deunyddiau AM: Datblygu deunyddiau metel penodol ar gyfer SLM a pholymerau ar gyfer Modelu Dyddodiad Ffiws (FDM).
- Dylunio ar gyfer Gweithgynhyrchu Ychwanegion: Datblygu geometregau swyddogaethol i ateb gofynion penodol (colli pwysau, sioc neu amsugno dirgryniad).
- Cymwysiadau AC ac efelychu: Defnyddio efelychiad cyfrifiadurol i wella ymarferoldeb dylunio, gweithgynhyrchedd, perfformiad ac optimeiddio topoleg.
- Nodweddu prosesau, gwella a sefydlogrwydd: Datblygu gwell dealltwriaeth, monitro a gwella galluoedd ac amodau prosesu prosesau AC.
- Cadwyni proses gweithgynhyrchu: Ymgorffori AC i gadwyni prosesau gweithgynhyrchu presennol. Cyfuniad o AC gyda phrosesau gweithgynhyrchu gwerthoedd confensiynol ac uchel.
- Cadwyn Cymorth AC: Cadwyn gyflenwi AC a dosbarthu.

Bywgraffiad
Ymunais â Phrifysgol Caerdydd fel myfyriwr PhD ym 1996, gan weithio ar ddatblygu cymwysiadau polymer ac offer metel gan ddefnyddio Prototeipio Cyflym. Enillodd ei PhD sy'n ymchwilio i gydrannau sintered metel a gynhyrchwyd gan ddefnyddio Sintering Laser Dewisol (SLS) ac o'r enw "Galluoedd y broses RapidTool" yn 2000.
Dros y degawd canlynol, rwyf wedi gweithio ym maes datblygu cynnyrch fel dylunydd a rheolwr prosiect ar gyfer y Ganolfan Peirianneg Gweithgynhyrchu lle roedd ganddo fynediad uniongyrchol at ystod eang o brosesau a pheiriannau gan gynnwys SLS, Stereolitography (CLG), Modelu Dyddodiad Cymysg (FDM) a rhai prosesau Jetio deunydd (3D Systems Thermojet, Solidscape), gan ganiatáu imi ymestyn fy ngwybodaeth ymhellach yn AC. Yn ystod yr un cyfnod, rwyf hefyd wedi datblygu arbenigedd mewn mowldio chwistrellu a chwistrellu micro.
Ar ôl gweithio ar ddau brosiect ymchwil Ewropeaidd FP7 ar ddatblygu mowldio chwistrellu micro (COTECH, IMPRESS), roeddwn yn cymryd rhan weithredol yn MEET Lab, prosiect a ariannwyd gan Lywodraeth Cymru gyda'r nod o hwyluso mynediad at dechnolegau gweithgynhyrchu digidol ac Argraffu 3D i ficro-fentrau.
Rwyf wedi ymuno â Labordy Gweithgynhyrchu Haenau Ychwanegion Prifysgol Caerdydd yn 2015 gyda'r nod o oruchwylio a datblygu gweithgareddau ymchwil y labordy ymhellach.
Ar hyn o bryd rwy'n adolygydd ar gyfer y cynadleddau 4M a SDM yn ogystal â'r Rapid Prototeipio Journal.
