SVFS Group, Institute of Mechanics, Technische Universität Berlin

🌐 Welcome to the SVFS Group at TU Berlin! We are an interdisciplinary research team specializing in applied structural mechanics, with a core focus on sustainable 3D-printed materials and slender structures. Our work bridges design, mechanical and material science, exploring the performance of additively manufactured structures and sustainable biocomposites. Our research is powered by our Make and Break Lab, following a systematic three-step approach: 🔹 MAKE – Additive manufacturing of innovative materials and structures 🔹 BREAK – Rigorous mechanical testing and experimental analysis 🔹 SIMULATE – Advanced analytical and numerical modeling focusing on (post-)buckling But our mission goes beyond research! 🔹 STIMULATE: We are dedicated to transforming perspectives in our field, actively engaging in: 🌱 Gamified education and STEM outreach for children 🌱 Science communication that makes complex concepts accessible 🌱 Promoting equality in academia, especially for womxn 🚀 Join us on our journey as we innovate, educate, and inspire! 📢 Follow our work: 🔹 Instagram: @svfs_tuberlin 🔹 Thingiverse: https://www.thingiverse.com/additive_svfs_tub/designs 🔹 Github: https://github.com/SVFS-TUBerlin 🔹 Researchgate: https://www.researchgate.net/lab/Make-and-Break-Lab-SVFS-Group-Christina-Voellmecke #Mechanics #3DPrinting #Sustainability #STEM #ScienceCommunication #Equality #gamification
