Training Experts in Light-Based Additive Manufacturing

Objective

TEAM aims to establish an excellence hub in vat photopolymerization 3D printing. Three major objectives are pursued: 1) to train a new generation of researchers with high scientific expertise and strong awareness of industrial and societal challenges, 2) to make significant progress in the synthesis of photoinitiators truly suited for vat photopolymerization, and 3) to explore new frontiers in materials science by developing alternative chemistries to those commonly used.
3D printing via vat photopolymerization is a Key Enabling Technology, producing high-quality objects with minimal post-processing and limited human efforts. Parts are fabricated rapidly, which may have direct applications (e.g. dental materials, cosmetics) or can be used for prototyping in visual testing, market approval or even medical research. However, the effectiveness of most photoinitiators used to prompt the photopolymerization reaction are questionable. In addition, the resins used are mainly based on acrylate chemistry, which exhibits many limitations. Finally, there is a low level of structuring within this sector at the European level, and there is a lack of high-level university training available to educate students on the scientific, industrial, and societal challenges of this field.
The TEAM project aims to tackle these challenges through 14 PhD projects focused on the next generations of photoinitiators and resins. These projects are supported by universities which are leaders in this field. TEAM benefits from the support of European companies offering the most advanced technologies in this area, some of which are unique in the world. Through a dual approach, namely concept-driven development and technology-driven development, all researchers will combine their knowledge, ambitions, and needs to develop solutions that meet both high scientific aspirations and significant industrial demands, thereby strengthening Europe’s human capital base in 3D printing research and innovation.

Keywords

Project’s keywords as indicated by the project coordinator. Not to be confused with the EuroSciVoc taxonomy (Fields of science)

Programme(s)

Multi-annual funding programmes that define the EU’s priorities for research and innovation.

Topic(s)

Calls for proposals are divided into topics. A topic defines a specific subject or area for which applicants can submit proposals. The description of a topic comprises its specific scope and the expected impact of the funded project.

Funding Scheme

Funding scheme (or “Type of Action”) inside a programme with common features. It specifies: the scope of what is funded; the reimbursement rate; specific evaluation criteria to qualify for funding; and the use of simplified forms of costs like lump sums.

HORIZON-TMA-MSCA-DN - HORIZON TMA MSCA Doctoral Networks

Net EU contribution

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.
