Summary
The manufacturing of multimaterial structures is a challenging task and many industries are today addressing specific critical challenges that come with mixing of materials. It is of great importance that multimaterial design is analysed from a holistic and multidisciplinary perspective where all aspects from design to manufacturing, use and recycling are included in the process. By combining several materials, proposals should advance the state of the art through the development of ready assembled multifunctional devices. The role of new development in additive manufacturing processes with dissimilar materials will be of importance.
Detailed Call Description
Proposals should address and demonstrate several of the below simultaneous activities:
- Quantification of improved functionalities, properties, quality and lifespan of fabricated pieces;
- Evaluation of matching materials properties to the production process to enable the joining of dissimilar materials for AM tools;
- Combination of precision engineering design with additive manufacturing methods to provide tailor-made joining solutions for dissimilar materials, with the ability to be reused/dismantled;
- Demonstration of a better understanding of the nanotechnology integrated materials properties and manufactures;
- Integration and validation at early stage of the qualification and certification considerations of the materials, including innovative non-destructive inspection techniques;
- Recycling aspects of multimaterial components and structures should also be addressed in detail.
- Joint development with material suppliers and end-users is required for a rapid uptake by industry;
- Modelling, simulation, standardisation and regulatory aspects (especially safety and nano-safety) and the process and materials qualification.
This topic is open for international cooperation where the EU has reciprocal benefit, while excluding industrial competitors from countries where the safeguarding of IPRs cannot be guaranteed.
