Mat4.0 consortium meeting
Last Friday, IMDEA Materials welcomed fellow members of the Smart Fabrication of Advanced Materials for Transport, Energy and Health, or Mat4.0-CM, project to discuss its progress. Mat4.0-CM, funded by the Comunidad de Madrid, is focused on developing the additive...
Defectology and online correction through visual reconstruction of the pieces
In-situ monitoring systems for additive manufacturing are essential to analyse and optimise processes and are as diverse as the 3D metal printing techniques themselves. The objectives in the design, development and implementation of in-situ monitoring in this type of...
High Entropy Alloys for atomization and 3D printing
The collaboration of Materalia Group (CENIM-CSIC) researchers and IMDEA Materials researchers are pushing forward to determine the proper printing condition of the HEAs atomized powders.
Introducing a data-approach in the field of composite materials’ manufacturing
This is a continuation of a previous post about one of the goals of the MAT4.0 project, the introduction of machine learning algorithms in the manufacturing processes related with composite materials. In that post it was presented the challenge of improving the...
3D printing of metamaterials for structural applications
Additive manufacturing, or 3D metal printing, allows to build ultralight and resistant structures with geometries that are impossible to achieve using conventional machining and processing techniques, including complex structures named “lattice”, which are the subject...
Artificial intelligence applied to the manufacture of structural materials
During the last years, humanity has witnessed a continuous emergence of applications that contain algorithms based on artificial intelligence. Examples of its everyday use go from a smartphone with integrated facial recognition to devices that allow us to control our...
Woman in Science – 3D Printing
The next meeting of Women in 3D printing will be held at IMDEA Materials Institute in Getafe, on 24th October at 17:45.
New researchers start their work in MAT4.0
All the personnel to be hired within the project MAT4.0-CM has already started to work in the programme, Shruti Banait (Akole, India, 1994), Jorge Jiménez Aguirre (Madrid, Spain, 1994), Gabriel Mesas Peña (Jerez de la Frontera, Spain, 1995) and Juan Ignacio Caballero (Madrid, Spain, 1994).
Launch meeting of the MAT4.0-CM program
On February 1, 2019, in the IMDEA Materials seminar room (Getafe), the launch meeting of the MAT4.0-CM program took place, attended by the main researchers of all participating groups and laboratories. In the first place, presentations were made both individually and by the different groups (IMDEA, FIDAMC, UPM-MMEAN, UPM-MIDAS, UPM-GRIAL, IDIPAZ, UC3M, CENIM-CSIC) and laboratories associated to the research groups.
