(Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange)

Project Title:  Directional Multi-Materials Components through Additive Manufacturing Innovation  (DiCoMI)   Proposal number:  754478 – 2017

Starting date:   March 2018  (48 Months)   - EU Fund: 1.2 million Euro

Consortium:  Loughborough University, UK (coordinator)  and 15 partners from EU and Africa.

Summary and Objectives:

The Directional Multi-materials Components through Additive Manufacturing Innovation (DiCoMI) project aims to bring together leading research institutes and innovators from across Europe, Africa and Asia, to develop new methods of producing multi-materials material parts with optimized layers and processing directionality. The DiCoMI project will integrate advanced manufacturing techniques especially additive manufacturing expertise, materials science, and manufacturing system design. As such, it requires a high level of inter-disciplinary cooperation as well as collaboration between researchers and industrials. The outcome will be a truly novel fully controlled additive manufacturing system capable of producing parts with increased accuracy, reduced cost and enhanced functionality. DiCoMI project will focus on combining the well-known different additive manufacturing techniques into a unique and innovative hybrid system. DiCoMI project will have a direct impact on the European and international scientific state of the art in the fields of advanced materials and manufacturing equipment, while supporting the innovation potential in the automotive and aerospace industries.

Local Alliances Projects - funded by Academy of Scientific Research

Project title:  "Low cost production for human body customized medical assistive products using additive manufacturing tools."

Funded by 1.8 Egyptian Million Pounds,

Project  aims to improve healthcare conditions for people in Egypt suffering from orthopedic problems which limit patients’ contribution to society. Innovative combinations of medical and engineering techniques will be introduced to Egypt, based-on computer assisted medicine, laser materials processing and additive manufacturing support industries in Egypt to produce high quality and high accuracy bone implants and human body customized tools from different materials. This proposal will further develop existing R&D links between the partners and establish long term sustainable collaboration.
