Periodic Reporting for period 1 - AMITIE (Additive Manufacturing Initiative for Transnational Innovation in Europe)
Periodo di rendicontazione: 2017-03-01 al 2019-02-28
3D Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies and overall numerical fabrication methods have been recognized by stakeholders as the next industrial revolution bringing customers’ needs and suppliers’ offers closer. It cannot be dissociated to the present trends in increased virtualization, cloud approaches and collaborative developments (i.e.sharing of resources). AM is likely to be one good option paving the way to Europe re-industrialization and increased competitiveness. AMITIE will reinforce European capacities in the AM field applied to ceramic-based products. Through its extensive programme of transnational and intersectoral secondments, AMITIE will promote fast technology transfer and enable as well training of AM experts from upstream research down to more technical issues. This will provide Europe with specialists of generic skills having a great potential of knowledge-based careers considering present growing needs for AM industry development. To do that, AMITIE brings together leading academic and industrial European players in the fields of materials science and processes, materials characterizations, AM technologies and associated numerical simulations, applied to the fabrication of functional and/or structural ceramic-based materials for energy/transport, and ICTs applications, as well as biomaterials.
18 partners (11 academics, 7 industrials).
Those players will develop a new concept of smart factory for the future based on 3D AM technologies (i.e. powder bed methods, robocasting, inkjet printing, stereolithography, etc.) and their possible hybridization together or with subtractive technologies (e.g. laser machining). It will allow for the production of parts whose dimensions, shapes, functionality and assembly strategies may be tailored to address today’s key technological issues of the fabrication of high added value objects following a fully-combinatorial route. AMITIE is expected to lead to a new paradigm for production of multiscale, multimaterial and multifunctional ceramic-based components.

Meetings and workshops
• Kick-Off meeting, April 12, 2017, Brussels, BE
• 1st workshop, May 14-15, 2018, BAM, Berlin, DE (Theme: Science of ceramics: basic knowledge and field overview with key industrial players) - The industrial partners of AMITIE shared with all AMITIE beneficiaries their strategies and business perspectives in the field of Additive Manufacturing of Ceramics.
• 2nd workshop, September 11, 2018, Imperial College, London, UK (Theme: colloidal and polymer processing: formulation, rheology) - This workshop was a joint action together with the 9th CASC (Centre for Advanced Structural Ceramics) Summer school of Imperial College that was held from the 10th to the 12th of September 2018. This workshop attracted 20 attendees, half of them being outside of the AMITIE project with key industrial players.
• Mid-term meeting with REA, September 12, 2018, Imperial College, London, UK. The project was reviewed with two external experts and the PO. 6 Innovation Radar Questionnaires were submitted to the EU the 20th of September 2018.
• 3rd workshop, April 3, 2019, BCRC, Mons, BE (Theme: multiscale structural imaging of materials and FE simulations) – This workshop was a joint action together with the yCAM (young Ceramists Additive Manufacturing Forum) that was held at the University of Mons (BE) from the 3rd to the 5th of April 2019. This workshop attracted 150 attendees, all of them being students outside the AMITIE project. The attendees were mostly ESRs in the vicinity of AMIE and also of the DOC-3D printing MSCA-ITN n°764935 for which cross-linked actions were initiated.
