INOV.AM – WP3 Hybrid Moulds for High Performance Products

INOV.AM is an innovation mobilization program in Additive Manufacturing that aims at development in various intervention areas, including new materials, advanced additive manufacturing processes, advanced post-production processes, advanced automation and control software, new products, and training and capacity building of human resources. 

See more about agenda here.

WP3 main objective is to create efficient hybrid moulds by blending traditional and additive manufacturing methods, catering to injection moulding, thermoforming, blow moulding, and other techniques for producing modest quantities and prototypes. Hybrid moulds offer advantages such as reduced time-to-market, lower production costs, increased efficiency, and customizable temperature control layouts. Key WP objectives include developing high-performance polymer products, exploring materials and technologies for mould inserts, optimizing heat channels, reducing product costs, ensuring quality, and assessing economic and environmental impacts.

 

DONE Lab integrates into WP3 as the scientific coordinator and the responsible for the design and development of engineering solutions for the case study product.

To address the product problem, various design solutions will be evaluated with CAE support, including manufacturing process simulation and structural simulation. CAE tools can be utilized to support the design, creation, and production of plastic parts by offering rigorous, scientific, and precise technical guidance, which can ensure greater safety and credibility during the development phases of both the product and the mould.
