Project description
Knowledge-sharing to enhance additive manufacturing
The use of 3D printing can transform industries by offering custom made parts production, but such additive manufacturing (AM) requires highly specific training. The EU-funded SEAMAC project is working to achieve this by creating a new consortium to boost expertise on known issues like making products from functionally graded materials and utilising post-processing. The consortium, between the University of Ljubljana, Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, and Technische Universiteat Bergakademie Freiberg, combines know-how about direct laser deposition, plasma electrolytic polishing and materials science. The project will also offer workshops and summer schools to increase technical and non-technical cooperation and competences.
Objective
Additive manufacturing (AM) has the potential to drive novel industry development as well as to transform current industries, but exploiting it to the fullest requires professionals with advanced degrees who have received the highest-level training in both technical and non-technical competences. The University of Ljubljana has expertise in the direct laser deposition (DLD) process, but has several weaknesses in the areas addressed in the SEAMAC project, including material behaviour especially to master the manufacturing of functionally graded materials and to perform postprocessing of AM parts to improve surface roughness. Hence, leading scientific institutions, namely Technion - Israel Institute of Technology and Technische Universiteat Bergakademie Freiberg take part in the consortium. The former brings expertise in material science and the latter the knowledge on plasma electrolytic polishing. Both institutions are very active in the AM field, have a lot of cooperation with industrial partners, and are skilled in research management. The project activities encompass technical and non-technical cooperation and exchange of knowledge through the workshops and organisation of summer schools.

Net EU financial contribution. The sum of money that the participant receives, deducted by the EU contribution to its linked third party. It considers the distribution of the EU financial contribution between direct beneficiaries of the project and other types of participants, like third-party participants.
