Description du projet
Un gros coup de pouce pour la recherche sur la fabrication additive en Europe
La fabrication additive fait l’objet d’une adoption rapide dans divers domaines tels que l’aéronautique, le biomédical et l’automobile. On sait peu de choses sur la façon dont le matériau utilisé influence la capacité de charge du produit final imprimé en 3D. Il s’agit d’un frein à une mise en œuvre généralisée de cette technologie. Établissant un rapprochement entre les meilleures universités italiennes et norvégiennes de recherche et d’innovation au niveau international et des universités tchèques, roumaines et serbes moins performantes, le projet SIRAMM vise à aider l’Europe à se faire une place dans ce domaine et à soutenir la recherche à l’Université polytechnique de Timisoara, en Roumanie. Des programmes d’échange de personnel, des sessions de formation, des ateliers et des séminaires permettront un transfert intense de connaissances qui servira les objectifs du projet.
Objectif
In spite of the growing importance of Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology for producing both plastics and metals parts used in different fields such as aeronautics, biomechanics and automotive, the criteria and methods for the safety evaluation of AM components are still not well established. Therefore, the lack of knowledge on the influence of the material quality on the load bearing capacity of the final product hinders the industrial exploitation of AM, preventing this powerful technology from being confidently used in every-day manufacturing processes, in particular in low developed European countries.
The overall objective of the SIRAMM project is to significantly strengthen research in the AM field at the Polytechnical University of Timisoara (UPT, Romania). To achieve this aim, SIRAMM will build upon the existing science and innovation base of UPT, creating a network with two internationally-leading counterparts at EU level: Norwegian University of Science and Technology (Norway) and the University of Parma (Italy).
In the long term, the project aims at laying the foundations for creating a pole of excellence on AM in Eastern Europe. For this reason, other two partners from low R&I performing countries, the University of Belgrade (Serbia) and the Institute of Physics of Materials, Academy of Sciences (Czech Republic) will also take part in this Twinning project.
To reach its goals, this 3-year project will be focussed on the implementation of knowledge transfer activities such as workshops and staff exchange, training events (i.e. summer schools, seminars) for early stage researchers, and dissemination and communication actions (i.e. web site, videos, open access publications, public engagement activities) for different audiences. To keep maintaning the knowledge transfer well beyond the duration of this project, a regular master course on AM technology will be also implemented in the coordinating institution.
