FUTURAMA - Máquinas Hibridas Inteligentes, Autónomas y Fiables para la Fabricación y Reparación de Componentes
El proyecto FUTURAMA busca aumentar la fiabilidad y autonomía de las máquinas de fabricación aditiva metálica por deposición de energía directa (DED), reduciendo la necesidad de supervisión constante. Para ello, desarrollará sensores avanzados, modelos de autoaprendizaje y herramientas de simulación que controlen variables críticas como la temperatura y geometría. Aplicado a sectores como el aeronáutico, petroquímico y ferroviario, el proyecto producirá componentes de gran tamaño sin desperdicio, apoyando la sostenibilidad y digitalización industrial de Euskadi y Europa.
MADISON - Additive Manufacturing, Digitalization, and Sustainability
The MADISON project, a continuation of CEFAM 2020-2022, aims to enhance participation in the additive manufacturing (AM) value chain. It addresses challenges in AM technologies applied to metals, promotes excellence in training, and attracts talent. It develops strategies for dynamization, transfer, and industrial protection to enhance results. Technically, it fabricates and simulates five materials (Ti64, Cu, Al, steels, and Ni alloys), improves AM technologies and material processability, designs non-destructive inspection methods, and analyzes the sustainability of the processes.
CEFAM - Strategic programme for training excellence on Metal Additive Manufacturing
Creation of a network of excellence in AM, integrating the capabilities of four centres of the consortium. It covers the value chain of metal additive manufacturing: design, production, processing, post-processing and advanced testing. It addresses a wide range of metals with SLM, LMD, EBM and WAAM technologies. It studies the integration of Femtosecond lasers. The project excels at training and talent attraction/ the programme's forte is training and talent attraction. AIDIMME, CEIT, FADA-CATEC and LORTEK are designated "Cervera Centre of Excellence" in Additive Manufacturing and receive support from CDTI.
