The industrialisation of Additive Manufacturing (AM) requires a holistic data manThe industrialisation of Additive
Manufacturing (AM) requires a holistic data management and integrated automation. INTEGRADDE aims to
develop an end-to-end Digital Manufacturing solution, enabling a cybersecured bidirectional dataflow for a seamless
integration across the entire AM chain.
The goal is to develop a new manufacturing methodology capable of ensuring the manufacturability, reliability and
quality of a target metal component from initial product design via Direct Energy Deposition (DED) technologies,
implementing a zero-defect manufacturing approach ensuring robustness, stability and repeatibility of the process. To
achieve this aim, INTEGRADDE addresses following key innovations:
- Development of an intelligent data-driven AM pipeline.
- Combination of automatic topology optimisation algorithms for design, multi-scale process modelling, automated
hardware-independent process planning, online control and distributed NDT for the manufacturing of certified metal
parts.
- A self-adaptive control is adopted focused on the implementation of non-propagation of defects strategy. Moreover,
Data Analytics will provide a continuous refinement by acquiring process knowledge to assist in the manufacturing of
new metal components, improving right-first-time production by adopting a mass customization approach
- Cybersecurity ensures data integrity along the AM workflow, providing a novel manufacturing methodology for the
certification of metal AM parts.
INTEGRADDE implements a twofold deployment approach for the pilot lines: both in application-driven at five
industrial end-users (steel, tooling, aeronautics, and construction) and open-pilot networks at RTOs already owning
AM infrastructure (AIMEN, IREPA, CEA, WEST). This will allow a continuous validation and deployment of
specific developments towards industrialization, boosting definitive uptake of AM in EU metalworking sector.
