MANufacturing decision and supply chain management SYStem for additive manufacturing (MANSYS)

Start date: Jul 1, 2013, End date: Jun 30, 2016,

ManSYS aims to develop and demonstrate a set of e-supply chain tools; to enable the mass adoption of Additive Manufacturing (AM). This will allow businesses to identify and determine the suitability of AM for metal products, and subsequently manage the associated supply-chain issues and ‘facilitating’ open product evolution.The proposed e-supply chain solution will combine all aspects of AM includ ...

Innovation for Digital Fabrication (Diginova)

Start date: Mar 1, 2012, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

Most products are produced by means of the established mass production infrastructure. Traditionally, this involves large stocks, high manual labor, large capital investments, high energy use, long distance transportation. Although many advanced new materials have unique functional properties that hold a great promise for innovation, they often need to meet the criteria and characteristics of this ...

Strengthening the industries’ competitive position by the development of a logistical and technological system for “spare parts” that is based on on-demand production (DirectSpare)

Start date: Feb 1, 2009, End date: Jan 31, 2012,

The proposal offers a solution for the growing quantity of product types on the market requiring enormous warehouses to keep stock for spare parts, with corresponding high costs and complex logistics. This emerging problem is caused by the continuously decreasing product life time, decreasing time-to-market and increasing regulatory affairs. A solution is foreseen using Rapid Manufacturing (RM) ...

CompoLight: Rapid Manufacturing of lightweight metal components (COMPOLIGHT)

Start date: Nov 1, 2008, End date: Oct 31, 2011,

The project proposes to solve identified shortcomings of Rapid Manufacturing (RM) by addressing five areas, all of which are related to design and production of lightweight metal parts. These deficiencies are: 1) lack of design rules¨for RM, which could guide the designer, 2) lack of guidelines and simulation software to support to the user in the work preparation prior to RM processing and predic ...
