Description du projet
Une formation pour mieux tirer parti de la technologie d’impression 3D
L’innovation dans la conception et la production de produits de haute technologie est la clé du succès sur les marchés mondiaux d’aujourd’hui. Toutefois, pour garantir la compétitivité de la science et de l’industrie européennes dans les secteurs les plus prometteurs, il importe de former une nouvelle génération de scientifiques hautement qualifiés. L’impression 3D est un domaine qui offre un énorme potentiel technologique pour les produits à valeur ajoutée de haute technologie. C’est pourquoi, le projet XS-Meta, financé par l’UE, proposera une formation multidisciplinaire, intersectorielle et innovante aux chercheurs en début de carrière recrutés. Ces derniers se formeront et acquerront de l’expérience en ingénierie technologique nouvelle à l’échelle microscopique dans le but de produire des métamatériaux mécaniques imprimés en 3D fonctionnellement gradués et conçus de manière optimale.
Objectif
The objective of the XS-Meta Innovative European Training Network project is to train a new generation of researchers in concurrent material-structure design of high-technology structural systems, using functionally graded 3D-printed metamaterials.
By taking advantage of the unique technological opportunity that the revolution of 3D-printing (3DP) is bringing to industry and engineering, XS-Meta helps the European industry and future academic system by training a highly-educated, goal-oriented generation of scientists and engineers capable of developing high-tech, value-added products to maintain and increase its technological leadership, critical for high living standards in a global market
XS-Meta takes full advantage of new 3D printing (3DP) possibilities at the microscale, to design functionally graded (FG), optimally architected, mechanical metamaterials (MMs) best-suited for the demands at every location in a component.
XS-Meta constitutes a multidisciplinary change of paradigm on how engineering structural design has been performed to date, integrating the metamaterial design concurrently with the structural design through double inverse analyses and surrogate continuum models obtained by data-driven techniques.
XS-Meta is a highly multidisciplinary and intersectoral project, involving leading high-tech companies in their field, a National Industrial and Research Centre and complementary leading academic research groups. XS-Meta has the right combination of excellence in research, academic training and industry experience, and high international and intersectoral mobility for developing innovation-oriented, entrepreneurial and creative researchers.
XS-Meta involves “hands-on” experience for the recruited Early Stage Researchers (ESRs), including developing all the steps in the design, structural analysis, manufacturing and testing of high-technology prototypes.
