Descripción del proyecto
Una nueva forma de fabricar componentes funcionales multimateriales
Los métodos de fabricación híbridos combinan dos o más técnicas de fabricación, como la fabricación aditiva y la sustractiva, y pueden utilizarse para producir piezas complejas con propiedades y características únicas. El equipo del proyecto DISCO2030, financiado con fondos europeos, es una iniciativa de investigación cuyo objetivo es desarrollar y demostrar dos métodos de fabricación híbridos, los primeros de su clase, capaces de unir materiales disímiles de metal-metal y metal-polímero al combinar la fusión en lecho de polvo y la deposición de energía dirigida. El objetivo final es crear dispositivos multifuncionales ligeros y de geometría compleja con materiales graduados que puedan funcionar en entornos difíciles, como motores de cohetes, motores marinos y depósitos criogénicos de combustible de hidrógeno. En DISCO2030 se allanará el camino hacia nuevas normas de unión y ensayo de materiales disímiles e impulsará el liderazgo de la Unión Europea en fabricación aditiva mediante el desarrollo de técnicas de fabricación rentables, eficientes y flexibles.
Objetivo
The DISCO2030 project aims to develop two innovative hybrid manufacturing methods for joining dissimilar metal-metal and metal-polymer materials. Both proposed methods are underpinned by additive manufacturing (AM) technologies from the emerging technology families of Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) and Directed Energy Deposition (DED). DISCO2030 combines the advantages of PBF and DED to enable the manufacturing of multi-material lightweight, complex geometry components/structures that are able to operate in harsh environments. The process is expected to achieve a ≥20% lead time reduction compared to state-of-the-art manufacturing processes (such as die casting and brazing) and manufacture multi-material parts that have a 50% lower weight compared to reference products and a 30% higher performance (achieved among others by graded materials).
The three use-cases to be demonstrated in the project are of high relevance to the EU economy and include a rocket engine, a marine engine and a cryogenic hydrogen tank for primary applications in the automotive sector. All components manufactured using the novel DISCO hybrid manufacturing methods will be subjected to rigid testing according to the respective industry standards.
DISCO2030 is expected to generate significant impact by paving the way for the creation of new dissimilar material joining and testing standards, strengthening the EU’s leadership in AM technologies and increasing the EU’s resilience against global supply chain disruptions. Finally, DISCO2030 will contribute to the reinvention of the European aerospace, marine and automotive sectors, ultimately providing EU citizens with better, more sustainable and cost-effective transportation.
