Revolutionising the manufacturing sector through sustainable practices and advanced technologies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

GEAR-UP<\/strong> develops digital tools and methodologies that address recycled materials variability<\/strong>, covering stainless steel, aluminum alloys, and fiber-reinforced plastics for additive manufacturing (AM).<\/p>\n

The project employs simulation-driven approaches for optimising various AM processes<\/strong>, including laser beam-directed energy deposition, metal laser beam powder bed fusion, and fiber-reinforced polymer material extrusion.<\/p>\n

GEAR-UP emphasises environmental conservation by using recycled materials in engineering design<\/strong>, significantly reducing virgin resources, energy consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions. The project overcomes challenges associated with secondary materials, such as performance variability, through resilient design and life-cycle environmental impact assessment.<\/p>\n

Moreover, GEAR-UP enhances sustainable product design<\/strong> by using innovative simulation and modelling software<\/strong>. It also implements the Digital Product Passport initiative and fosters human involvement in advancing circularity and sustainable technology adoption.<\/p>\n

Eurecat takes part in the GEAR-UP project through its Metallic and Ceramic Materials<\/a> Unit, developing aluminium powder with improved properties for additive manufacturing technology. The alloy composition will be optimised to improve the powder size and geometry obtained by centrifugal atomisation, enhance their sintering performance under Selective Melting Laser technology and maximise the properties of the final produced part.<\/p>\n

The GEAR-UP consortium is made up of 13 partners from seven European countries.<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>11. Sustainable cities and communities<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

New aluminum materials obtained through manufacturing allow a zero-mile manufacturing policy, reducing unnecessary transportation, which will contribute to cities with fewer trucks and fewer polluting emissions.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>12. Responsible consumption and production<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

Additive manufacturing, unlike traditional metal part manufacturing processes, allows parts to be obtained without any type of surplus material. A very high percentage of the raw material is used, generating less waste and avoiding the recovery and recycling processes of this scrap. In addition, the new powder developed in the project will allow the best use of the manufactured powder, further reducing the consumption of raw materials.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>

<\/i><\/i><\/span>13. Climate action<\/span><\/a><\/h4><\/div>
\n

The reduction and better use of the raw material used also means a reduction in energy consumption and the corresponding CO2 <\/sub>emissions, as well as the emissions of waste inherent in the process of obtaining primary aluminum such as the generation of red sludge.<\/p>\n
