Project description
Open digital tools drive materials’ innovation and sustainability
Advanced materials drive innovation across industries, but their optimisation potential is limited to large companies with resources for computational research and tools. SMEs and mid-cap companies face barriers due to high cost and limited access to these resources. To bridge this gap, the EU-funded DiMAT project will develop open digital tools for European SMEs and mid-cap companies to affordably model, simulate and optimise materials at each stage of the value chain, from design to processing and manufacturing. This will improve the quality, sustainability, effectiveness and competitiveness of materials and of the EU industry. The effectiveness of the three integrated DiMAT tool suites will be demonstrated in four pilots covering textiles, composites, glass and graphite.
Objective
European materials industry is considered a key enabler for industrial development and the EU has a historically strategic position in this sector. However, there is a low uptake in European materials industry for digital technologies. Hereby, it is crucial to provide all stakeholders of the EU with advanced digital technologies to evolve towards an agile European materials industry with intelligent enterprises that maximise and integrate the utility of digital materials sciences knowledge.
DiMAT will develop Open Digital Tools with a set of advanced technologies for offering European SMEs and Mid-Caps an affordable (in terms of cost, implementation and usability) full modelling, simulation and optimisation system in each stage of the material value chain (design, processing and manufacturing) for improving quality, sustainability, effectiveness, and competitiveness of materials.
DiMAT will deploy 3 integrated Suites: 1) DiMAT Data and Assessment Suite: digital technologies for storing, sharing, representing and assessing materials data; 2) DiMAT DiMAT Modelling and Design Suite: digital technologies for material design, in terms of their internal structure, properties and performance, in order to predict the material behaviour before manufacturing; 3) DiMAT Simulation and Optimisation Suite: digital technologies for creating efficient materials manufacturing simulation processes and determining the behaviour of the material mechanical characterization models to be used in the AI training and prediction.
The DiMAT Suites will be demonstrated in 4 Pilots of European designers and producers of different materials: textile, composite, glass and graphite.
