SuPreAM project meeting at IDONIAL facilities in Asturias

On January 15^th, the members of the SuPreAM project, coordinated by the Metallic and Ceramic Materials Unit of Eurecat, met at IDONIAL facilities located in Avilés (Asturias, Spain).

Project partners presented and evaluated the progress made on the development and improvement of the performance and capabilities of a predictive simulation model of finishing operations in steel Additive Manufacturing (AM).

The project has the objective to optimise the surface integrity of Additive Manufactured and Machined steel components and to reduce manufacturing expenditures at the steel industrial sector by minimising the material scrap and reducing the number of re-processing loops during finishing operations.

The consortium, formed by seven entities from three European countries, is coordinated by Eurecat technology centre and participated by the International Centre for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE), Grupo Sevilla Control (GSC), DRT Rapid, Luleå University of Technology (LTU), IDONIAL and ArcelorMittal.
