Project description
Revolutionising European manufacturing
To achieve climate goals and reduce waste, the development and implementation of innovative manufacturing techniques and technologies are essential. In this context, the EU-funded WISE project aims to create a groundbreaking machine that will revolutionise the European market by shifting the manufacturing focus towards enhanced efficiency. This machine will use macro- and micro-nano scale processing, featuring multi-scale complexity, high precision, and adaptability. Moreover, it will have the capability to impart product features such as self-healing, smart repairing, and triggered biomolecule diffusion, thereby extending product life cycles. The machine will undergo demonstration on three complex hybrid products from different sectors, with the support of experts and stakeholders.
Objective
WISE sets a new frontier for product complexity by shifting the focus from geometry to functionality, introducing features such as self-healing, triggered biomolecule diffusion, and smart repairing. This disruption redefines current design methodology, leveraging advanced AI-aided engineering and multi-scale, multi-process manufacturing to achieve unprecedented complexity. WISE has the potential to drive a discontinuity in the growth of the European industry by convincingly demonstrating an innovative, competitive, and scalable manufacturing concept based on a single machine that integrates macroscale processing (i.e. DED via hybrid blue-IR lasers) and micro-nano scale processing (i.e. fs and ns laser ablation, 2PP, DALP).
WISE will deliver a TRL7 multi-process machine integrating high-precision, multi-scale techniques for producing complex multifunctional products. The project will demonstrate the machine's performance, flexibility, and precision by producing three complex hybrid products in MedTech, Aerospace, and Power generation sectors. The project builds upon TRL5-validated results from previous H2020 projects, which have brought significant innovations in the field of advanced manufacturing and enabling technologies.
The work plan includes a final demonstration to validate the solution through the production of complex components based on end-user requirements. Upon completion, WISE will be further developed to reach TRL9 within 24 months, leading to its commercial launch as a multi-process manufacturing station.
The WISE consortium is composed of 16 partners, including 8 SMEs, 4 LE, and 4 RTD. Their expertise covers mechatronics, intelligent nanostructured components, laser-material interaction, high-precision machines and tools. The project partners form a cluster of European countries playing crucial roles in the production of functionalized products with smart functionalities, adaptive photonic solutions, and advanced mechatronic systems.
