The project titled “Development of Solid Oxide Fuel Cell Glass-Ceramic Sealing Components Using Photopolymerization-Based 3D Printing Technology,” led by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Tolga ALTAN from the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Division of Energy, has been awarded support under the TÜBİTAK 3501 – Career Development Program.

Within the project team, Dr. Habip Gökay KORKMAZ, a faculty member of our University's Department of Mechanical Engineering, serves as a researcher, while Prof. Dr. Bora TİMURKUTLUK serves as the advisor.

The project aims to produce glass-ceramic sealing components—critically important in Solid Oxide Fuel Cell (SOFC) systems—using photopolymerization-based additive manufacturing technologies as an alternative to conventional production methods. Through this innovative approach, the project is expected to offer significant advantages, including substantially reduced production time, decreased material waste, and the ability to manufacture components with high precision and geometric accuracy.

We congratulate our esteemed faculty members
