    Exploiting nanotechnology

    for optimizing two material parameters at once resulting in

    Heat sink material with highest conductivity, but lowest mismatch in thermal expansion (KR1) .

  • Enabling multi-material parts

    with cost-effective processes to realize multi-functionalities by

    added active materials ,resulting in better usage of raw material by factor 3 up to 15, reducing BTF from 40 to 3 .

  • New opportunities & business for SMEs

    across Europe along the entire value chains involved both

    as a supplier of enabling technology as well as end-user.

  • Setting up and executing training

    modules for SMEs to build and enhance AM

    capacities throughout Europe on the long term.

Development of new materials using nanotechnology

The use of nano-technology will be used to maximize thermal conductivity, minimize electrical conductivity and/or improve wear resistance of metals – always optimizing its compatibility to the metal bulk.
