Additive manufacturing processes offer a wide range of possibilities for targeted applications that take advantage of its design freedom and flexibility.
This project aims to support companies through innovation and applied research in the additive manufacturing of technical and filled polymers for maintenance applications and rapid tool manufacturing.
Certech will provide its expertise in the following tasks:
- Selection and formulation of materials : Certech works on the selection and formulation of polymer materials, including thermoplastic matrices, ceramic and metallic fillers, as well as various additives.
- Filament extrusion : Using knowledge developed in other projects, Certech develops the extrusion of calibrated filaments of these formulations for additive manufacturing.
- Material characterization : Certech conducts complementary characterization tasks, including microscopy analyses and tests of mechanical, rheological, and physicochemical properties, to validate the materials according to the requirements defined by the targeted industrial applications.
