Manufacturing the products of the future
Comment: The LD solution can inprove the workflow, data sharing and analysis in the mannufacturing areas significantly, as shown during the evaluation of the LD demonstrator "Metrology-driven Manufacturing in the Automobile Industry". The data harvesting and analysis methods developed within the project become more and more importand due to increasing complexety of the manufactured products and the involved processes.
Complex structures, geometries and scale
Comment: The increasing production valumes as well as the ever increasing demants on car body parts in terms of safety, weight and geometry leeds the initally mentioned complex processes. Thus, LD can help to optimize the necessary production processes.

Manufacturing the products of the future
Comment: The challenge for MEGaFiT is to make products at high quality with minimum of defects. Although the MEGaFiT team showed a huge step on this topic, the challenge stays. This because both tolerances as well as time-to-market decrease.
Complex structures, geometries and scale
Comment: The next step is to integrate more functions in parts leading to higher complexities. With the high requirements on tolerances, this will be the next challange.

Manufacturing the products of the future
Comment: SIMPOSIUM project aims at providing efficent simulation tools to conceive and to predict performances of NDE (Non Destructive Evaluation) techniques based on ultrasonic and electromagnetic methods for quality control (defect detection and material properties) for a wide range of industrial fields (steel, energy, nuclear, aircraft, automotive). NDE therefore plays a crucial role for ensuring the quality of the manufactured product. 11 application cases have been selected , for which simulation skills have been demonstrated and compared to experimental data.
Complex structures, geometries and scale
Comment: Complex structures, geometries and scales constitute the main challenge of the SIMPOSIUM project, as simulation codes to be developed/interoperated aim at predicting and conceiving NDe for real complex structures.

Manufacturing the products of the future
Comment: Future of medicine is driven by the concepts of early, remote and patient-managed diagnostic, teleasistance, minimal invasive and TIC enhanced treatment, to improve service, effectivity and reduce costs. All these advances rely on novel biomedical devices, which are currently being designed and developed, but which are complex and expensive to manufacture with current technologies. Advanced microrreplication developed in FaBiMed will allow to produce such novel devices in a cost effective way, while keeping the flexibility required for patient-specific functionalization.
Complex structures, geometries and scale
Comment: The project will deal with the combination of meso/micro/nano feature integration by combination of micromachining and nanostructuring technologies, while keeping cost efficiency through the use of proper coating and reconfigurable nanostructuring, to enable multiple nano-enabled functionalization in the same microstructured mould.
