Comment:

Des-MOLD imply the development of a Geometry module : software to simplify the design of geometry to a set of primitives. It allows the system to compare designs.

Des-MOLD is an intelligent knowledge-based system which presents the use of different Artificial Intelligence techniques to develop a decision support system for designers of plastic parts. Our approach is based on computational argumentation (ARG) and case-based reasoning (CBR) to offer both a recommendation about the design and the reasoning process followed in order to select that solution. Given the geometry of the part, type of material, mould’s material and defects to be avoid, the system combines a knowledge-based system (KBS) based on past experiences with designers social debates for providing a set of recommendations, enabling to update the knowledge database by reusing and adapting solutions from previous designs.

Advanced material processing technologies
High productivity and “self assembly” technologies development of conventional (joining, forming, machining) and new micro/nano-manufacturing processes
Comment: A highly innovative multileve micro-nanostructuring technology will be used for the first time for producing functional geometries on full sized components, based on the combination of coated microstructured parts with the nanofunctionalization by means of selective etch-resistant implantation and controlled plasma treatment. This is a highly productive and highly controlled way to generate the desired nanostructures which will be then transfer at high productivity to the final product using microrreplication.
Photonics-based materials processing technologies
Comment: Laser based technologies are central to the project. Laser is used as a tool for micromachining, additive and generative production (by means of selective melting, photopolymerization), and reconfiguration (laser induced chemical modification, laser enhanced chemical etching), as well as the key tool for process monitoring and part geometrical/functional quality assessment.
Methods for handling of parts, metrology and inspection
Comment: OCT, interferometry and LUS based inspection and monitoring techniques will be implemented in the project as part of the zero defect, total quality, low quality cost and low lead time philosophies, which are required to be adopted by the manufacturing companies competing in the disposable medical product market.
Integration of non-conventional technologies and conventional technologies
Comment: Slurry casting, injection molding and hot embossing are well known and established production technologies. The project will take these cost effective replication methods and take them a step further in accuracy, flexibility, micro-nano replication capability and reliability by integrating novel materials, tooling concepts, control and monitoring technologies .
Replication, Equipment for flexible scalable prod/Assembly , Coatings
Comment: Microrreplication (in particular, high precision ceramic casting, polymer micro-injection molding, hot embossing and nanoimprinting) are the core technologies of FaBiMed project. Scalable and flexible production will be enable through the combined design of the replication equipment and the replication tooling.
Shaping technology for difficult to shape materials
Comment: The project will develop novel approaches to the shaping of piezokeramics by using specially formulated slurries and novel compliant mould desings. Regarding the forming of hard to process polymers, the embossing and injection-compression molding will be improved.
Additive manufacturing
Comment: The manufacturing path to be developed in FaBiMed does not consider additive manufacturing as the production method, instead microrreplication is used. But the concept of cost-effective, flexible and reconfigurable tool will be implemented through Additive Manufacturing.
Mechatronics and robotics technologies
Intelligent machinery components, actuators and end-effectors
Comment: Closed-loop control multieffector replication equipment will be developed to enable thin foil structured polymer injection via injection-compression molding and hot embossing. This advanced mechatronic design is intended to improve the replicated part quality, respond to unexpected material behaviour, and considerably reduce cycle times with respect to conventional single effector and open-loop controlled replication machines, currently used in industry.
Advanced materials in manufacturing systems
Comment: Novel and inedit tool materials, particularly glass, DLC and sapphire based tools, will be used as alternative materials for microrreplication inserts, thanks to their thermal, physical, optical, surface and mechanical properties, which make them . Siloxane-based moulds produced by direct fabrication (masterless production) will also be used as novel tooling material for ceramic microrreplication, with mechanical properties adapted to the evolution .
