RawD TRIP 4 września 2019

Date: 3 September, 2019
Place: the Łukasiewicz – IMN, Gliwice

On the 3rd of September we had the pleasure to host a meeting with a group of international students at our Institute. It was part of the RawD TRIP, EIT RawMaterials Academy. During the first part of the meeting our colleagues gave presentations on the Institute and its activity, Metallurgy of Copper, Additive Manufacturing and the 3DMPWire project.
Later our guests had a chance to visit the laboratories and see a demonstration of the WAAM technique (3DMP® process) and melting and casting of Cu based alloys.
