Amorce-MultiMaterial-Ceramic-3D is a seed project to develop and prepare the MultiMaterial-Ceramic-3D project (ceramics multimaterial 3D printing and additive manufacturing development for aeronautics, medical and energy). The main objective of Amorce-MultiMaterial-Ceramic-3D is to validate the main beneficiaries and to extend the partnership to industrial and academic partners with the aim of parity. MultiMaterial-Ceramic-3D will be a proposal in response to the call: Horizon europe, Action Marie Skłodowska-Curie: Doctoral networks (DN): HORIZON-MSCA-2023-DN-01-01 MultiMaterial-Ceramic-3D will be an innovative doctoral network (combining training and research) composed of approximately (50%) academic participants, non-profit associations and approximately (50%) industrialists (large companies and SMEs) focused on CERAMIC-METAL and CERAMIC-CERAMIC MULTIMATERIAL 3D PRINTING applied to the medical, aeronautical and energy fields. The penetration of 3D printing processes in the ceramic multi-material industry remains low. Technological advances remain to be made, but research activities are limited. Indeed, the additive manufacturing community is mainly aimed at metallic or polymeric materials and their composites, and the ceramic multi-material industry lacks qualified researchers capable of exploiting academic proofs of concept to innovations. Training is therefore a key issue for supporting innovation in the ceramic multi-materials industry and for European competitiveness. This is why a European doctoral network combining training and research is the most relevant to take up the challenge. The training program created for this project will be sustained after the project through associative networking. The certification and assessment of the qualifications of PhD students and early career researchers on this subject will be created by the consortium with the methodologies developed by the partners. The research methodology will be based on multidisciplinary and cross-sectoral collaborations between project participants. The work packages will meet the needs of each VALUE CHAIN: (i) Raw material, (ii) Printer, (iii) Product, (iv) Standardization. The expected innovations are: (i) multi-structured and adapted raw materials (ii) a printer specially designed for multi-materials (iii) ceramic-metal and/or ceramic-ceramic products of innovative design (iv) actions standardization. From a Technology Readiness Level (TRL) perspective, Multi-Ceramic-3D will bridge the “valley of death” (TRL 3 to 7) from scientific TRL to commercial TRL. The expected positive results require a joint effort of universities and industry facilitated by the proposed synergistic work plan.
