Josep Maria Puigoriol Forcada

Josep Maria Puigoriol Forcada is Associate Professor at Ramon Llull University's IQS School of Engineering. His research investigates material behaviors in additive manufacturing, specializing in mechanical properties of 3D-printed polymers. Leads the Product Engineering Research Group (GEPI) and develops predictive models for material performance.

Research examines time-dependent mechanical properties of polycarbonate and polyetherimide in fused deposition modeling (FDM) applications. Develops viscoelastic models for polymer behavior prediction and finite element analysis protocols for automotive safety components.

Recent publications focus on material databases for additive manufacturing, polymer characterization techniques, and crash simulation methodologies. Research demonstrates strong emphasis on experimental mechanics and computational modeling integration.

Active in BioCrash project developing biomechanical models for surgical planning. Supervises research on advanced manufacturing techniques. No awards are documented in available materials.
