Service description

An ongoing service for EIC Transition beneficiaries. The service is focused on EIC deep-tech 3D for Environment and Energy, Health, Space, and Defence. This service aims to offer access to state-of-the-art experimental facilities and knowledge such as robotic and CNC cells for high-rate deposition by direct deposition of powder and wire (DED-LB and DED-Arc), Laser Powder Bed Fusion (PBF-LB) cells with melt pool monitoring; as well as access to a fully equipped metallurgical laboratory for characterisation of additive manufactured parts properties. The types of activities in the service include access to a test bed for entrepreneurs and early-stage companies to assess 360º vision technological assessment, technical and economic diagnostics, viability assessment, and technology scouting (powder bed fusion, directed energy deposition and material extrusion). Standalone technological workshops (training) for skills assessment in metal additive manufacturing are also offered. In addition, EIC beneficiaries can also get support on conceptual design of products (including topology optimisation, bionic design, and generative design), process simulation, on-line monitoring, part inspection, customised industrial solutions prototyping for multiple sectors (space & defence, health, energy, transport), experimental validation, needs for industrialisation, training in additive manufacturing, and industrial strategy development in additive manufacturing. The service will contribute to scalability of EIC beneficiaries’ solutions for further production and commercialisation, demonstrating them at a Manufacturing Readiness Level (MRL) of up to 7. The service will be implemented offline and/or hybrid, and the duration will be adapted to the needs of the EIC beneficiaries.
