Bio
Dr. Cho-Pei Jiang earned his Ph.D. from National Taiwan University of Science and Technology in 2003. He began his career as a researcher at the Biomedical Technology and Device Research Center of the Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI), where he worked from 2003 to 2007. Following this, he served in the Department of Power Mechanical Engineering at National Formosa University from 2007 to 2018, advancing through the ranks from Assistant Professor to Associate Professor and then Professor. In 2017, Dr. Jiang spent time as a visiting scholar at the University of Auckland in New Zealand. Since 2018, he has been a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at National Taipei University of Technology. Dr. Jiang has authored over 111 journal papers and holds 8 patents in Taiwan. He is currently the President of the Additive Manufacturing Society of Taiwan and a board member of the 3D Printing Association. He has been involved in numerous international collaborative research projects with institutions including the University of Waterloo in Canada, Auckland University of Technology in New Zealand, Gdańsk University of Technology in Poland, Shenzhen University in China, Oregon Institute of Technology in the United States, and the University of South Australia in Australia. He frequently collaborates with industry to undertake industry-academia joint projects, with the goal of commercializing his research achievements. To this end, he co-founded Enlighten Materials Co., Ltd. and Core-Tech Co., Ltd.
Research Interest
Additive manufacturing is generally categorized into seven types. In our laboratory, the primary research focuses are on vat photopolymerization (VPP), powder bed fusion (PBF), and material extrusion (ME) technologies. The materials used include zirconia, PEEK, stainless steel 316L, and Inconel 718. Tool steel and titanium alloy are the next investigation materials. We use custom-designed and lab-assembled machines to optimize printing parameters for our custom-formulated materials, producing objects with predefined mechanical properties.
In the field of metamaterials research, our laboratory is a pioneer in multi-material and multi-lattice structures. We have developed several multi-material 3D printing systems and investigate the effects of lattice gradients or multi-lattice microstructures on mechanical properties. We also use finite element analysis to simulate and analyze how printing parameters affect deformation in printed objects, aiming to optimize printing parameters and the mechanical properties of metamaterials. Recently, we have begun incorporating artificial intelligence into the design of printing parameters and structures, using deep learning to predict the causes of printing defects and propose preventive strategies.
In terms of applications, our focus is primarily on dental restoration devices, medical implants, aerospace components, and wear-resistant parts. Regarding international collaboration, our laboratory partners with international collaborators to organize international conferences and send laboratory members abroad for short-term research, aiming to broaden students' perspectives and enhance internationalization.
