An Open Innovation Ecosystem for upscaling production processes of lightweight metal alloys composites


  • Start: 01/01/2019
  • End: 31/12/2022


Main objective: The main aim of this project is the setting up of a self-sustainable open innovation ecosystem for the upscaling of industrial processes concerning lightweight metal alloys (aluminum, magnesium and titanium) boosting the introduction of new functionalities, features and capabilities to lightweight metals. composites
Expected results: The main results is the ecosystem itself, being innovative, open and sustainable. This ecosystem will count on 6 Pilot lines of different production technologies (3 casting, 2 additive manufacturing and one of sintering) and several associated services like monitoring, modelling, standarization, characterization, health & safety, nanosefaty and innovation management.

Role of AIMEN:
- Upscaling of metal wire additive manufacturing pilot line
- Services on testing and characterization and in process control
- Training activities, open call set up and dissemination of results
