Material-efficient Cu wire-based 3D printing technology
Area Acceleration (D2) Segment Upscaling (D2.2) Duration 2019/01/01-2021/12/31
3DMPWire project addresses needs for more efficient and waste-free production, specifically production of corrosion-resistant components operating in marine environments using newly developed Cu-based alloys. Upscaling will bring to TRL9 technology of production of components by 3D printing from wires. Thanks to the application of wires significant reduction of material loss (with a factor of 10), production costs and energy consumption will be reached. Moreover, the 3DMP® technology, developed within this project, can be used to manufacture other products, in many branches of the industry, using the new Cu-based alloys wires.
