Dr. Ahmed Qureshi leads the Additive Design and Manufacturing Systems (ADaMS) Laboratory at the University of Alberta. ADaMS laboratory is a unique Additive Manufacturing (AM) facility in Canada that specializes in the concurrent design and development of AM materials and equipment. Dr. Ahmed Qureshi has pioneered several additive manufacturing systems and materials systems. His work includes the design and development of plasma transferred arc AM system for AM of Nickel-Tungsten Carbide (Ni-WC) metal-ceramic parts, as well as the design and development of novel 4D ferromagnetic polymer-metal composite material jetting additive manufacturing systems and materials for printing magnets. Dr. Qureshi also has extensive experience in quality assurance and control of mechanical and geometric properties of 3D printing/Additively manufactured parts. Dr. Qureshi’s lab has also designed and developed an 8DOF robotic additive manufacturing cell for multi-degree of freedom large scale additive manufacturing. This state of the art cell utilizes sensor fusion and inline metrology to assure multi-axial 3D printing of Aluminum and Steel Alloys. In addition to manufacturing systems design and development for robotic systems, Dr. Qureshi’s lab has also innovated on digital design and manufacturing chains. This includes the development of algorithms and software for topology optimization, as well as design for additive manufacturing, reverse engineering, and computer-aided path planning.

In this study, composites with magnetic fillers were manufactured using a stereolithography based AM process. Magnetic suspensions developed with an objective of controlling particle settling were characterized for rheological properties. A stereolithography based commercial 3D printer was utilized to fabricate components using the developed magnetic suspensions. Resulting magnetic composite structures were characterized using scanning electron microscopy, a coordinate measuring machine and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. Through this research an enhanced understanding of filler modified polymers development, material behaviour and the process for manufacturing magnetic field responsive composites using stereolithography is obtained.T06-P03 University of Alberta | Publication | 2019-08-01 | | | Development and Characterization of Stable Polymer Formulations for Manufacturing Magnetic CompositesT06-P03 University of Alberta | Publication | 2020-01-01 | Balakrishnan Nagarajan, Milad Kamkar, Martin AW Schoen, Uttandaraman Sundararaj, Simon Trudel, Qureshi, A., Mertiny, P. | | Effects of magnetic field on the spreading dynamics of an impinging ferrofluid dropletT06-P06 University of Alberta | Publication | 2018-01-01 | | | Magnetically loaded polymer composites using stereolithography\textemdash Material processing and characterizationT06-P03 University of Alberta | Publication | 2020-12-01 | | | Rheology-Assisted Microstructure Control for Printing Magnetic Composites\textemdash Material and Process DevelopmentT06-P03 University of Alberta | Publication | 2020-09-01 | | | Development and Characterization of Field Structured Magnetic CompositesT06-P03 University of Alberta | Publication | 2021-08-01 | | | In situ image processing for process parameter-build quality dependency of plasma transferred arc additive manufacturingT06-P06 University of Alberta | Publication | 2022-01-01 | |
