The project focuses on the development of a new generation of photopolymerizable resins for 3D printing of aerodynamic models with integrated pressure channels and luminescent sensing systems. The proposed technology will enable the direct fabrication of complex internal pressure channels within 3D-printed models, eliminating the need for subsequent manual assembly of measurement systems.

The research will include the optimization of the rheological, photochemical, mechanical, and optical properties of UV-curable resins, as well as the development of efficient photoinitiating systems and light absorbers to improve printing resolution and prevent undesired polymerization around the internal channels. In parallel, luminescent molecular sensors will be developed for sensitive mapping of temperature and pressure on the surface of aerodynamic models.

The resulting 3D-printed prototypes will undergo channel-flow tests, sensor calibration, and comparative aerodynamic experiments in the Wind Engineering Laboratory at Cracow University of Technology. The project aims to demonstrate that the integration of advanced photopolymer materials, DLP 3D printing, and molecular sensing can significantly improve the precision, reproducibility, and efficiency of aerodynamic measurements.
