Adrián Travieso-Disotuar, researcher at the Metallic and Ceramic Materials Unit of Eurecat, has participated in the workshop Innovation in Optical Metrology with the talk “Analysis by Optical Profilometry of Post-Processed Surfaces of Metals Manufactured by Additive Technology”, which introduced the SuPreAM project. The event has been organised by SENSOFAR in collaboration with Eurecat on 27th of November in Manresa, Spain.

The presentation included the results of Eurecat’s research work within SuPreAM for the development and improvement of the performance and capabilities of a predictive simulation model of finishing operations in steel Additive Manufacturing (AM).

The project focuses on the optimisation of the surface integrity of Additive Manufactured and Machined steel components and the reduction of manufacturing expenditures at the steel industrial sector by minimising the material scrap and reducing the number of re-processing loops during finishing operations.

The workshop, which counted on the participation of Montse Vilaseca, SuPreAM project’s coordinator and Director of Metallic and Ceramic Materials Unit of Eurecat, showcased real success stories, innovative integrations, and practical solutions to enhance manufacturing processes and surface quality control.
