Descrizione del progetto
Rivoluzionario processo di produzione additiva per la creazione di componenti multimateriale
I componenti multimateriale offrono vantaggi impareggiabili nella produzione e nell’impiego di strutture leggere, consentendone l’ottimizzazione in base al loro ruolo specifico. La produzione additiva (AM) permette di migliorare il processo di produzione di componenti multimateriale e di renderlo più economico e meno complesso. Purtroppo, il processo di produzione di questi componenti non è ancora stato trasferito perfettamente all’AM ed è ancora inefficiente. Il progetto MADE-3D, finanziato dall’UE, si propone di superare questi ostacoli utilizzando i processi di stampa PBF-LB e DED per progettare e sviluppare nuovi processi efficienti per la produzione AM di composti multimateriale.
Obiettivo
Additive manufacturing (AM) has the economic potential to complement conventional manufacturing processes, especially in the production of complex, multi-material (MM) components. To exploit the full benefits of optimized lightweight structures, it is usually required to use multi-materials with different physical properties.
Still, multi-material combinations from conventional processes are not transferable to AM, due to residual stresses, cracks or thermal expansion rates of the different materials. Furthermore, geometric shape and position tolerances, as well as recycling strategies for powder waste, post-processed waste and the component itself are not yet defined.
Based on the 3D printing processes PBF-LB and DED, this project aims at the concurrent engineering of designing processable multi-material optimized alloys, development of design concepts for multi-material structures with specific simulations for load cases and topology optimizations, and an extensive process adaption. Alloy and process development will be aided by advanced integrated computational material engineering approaches that combine thermodynamics, microstructure, and process simulations through machine-/active learning, resulting in shorter material development cycles. For bulk and powder materials, recycling of multi-material components via innovative concepts will promote the sustainability of multi-material additive manufacturing. This adaption will lead to increased process reliability and speed, enabling the dissemination of MM manufacturing in AM for the entire industry.
The consortium brings a wide range of international expertise to the table, from materials research and digitization to the manufacture of multi-material components. It consists of startups, research institutions and market leaders in additive manufacturing. Industrial end-users cover automotive, aerospace and aeronautic applications with specific use cases.
