The NewAIMS project has started. The kick-off meeting was held in the facilities of Eurecat in Manresa (Spain) on September 27th, 2023.
The main objective of NewAIMS is to research, study and demonstrate strategies to obtain cost-effective high-performance steel in Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes, through concepts of modified AM with integrated heat treatments.
In addition to generating fundamental knowledge, NewAIMS will propose two high-performing steel grades and a demonstration of printing solutions based on Powder bed Fusion (PBF); while linking processes and microstructures to their final performance.
NewAIMS will demonstrate these solutions in a use case based in tool steels, an essential family of steels used in virtually all manufacturing processes, and where the characteristics of AM offer immediate advantages and transversal implementation.
NewAIMS partners count with specific knowledge and experience in different fields, with a solid R&D background and experience in European multi-partner projects. The consortium, coordinated by Eurecat Technology Centre, is made up of six partners from Spain, Poland and Sweden.
