Polymer-Metal 3D Printing using Hybrid Material Extrusion - Pompey

Project summary

Additive manufacturing technologies enable not only the flexible manufacturing of customized products, but open new opportunities for integration of electronics into the structure of the component. Today´s challenges include multi-material processing, quality monitoring, reliability, and productivity. Main objective of the Pompey project is a hybrid manufacturing device, enabling FFF printing processes for polymers and material extrusion for low melting point metal alloys. New sensor systems, data collection and analyis improve the quality of the printed marts. Results are manufactured and repaired parts such as PCBs and electronic devices. The project favours environmental aspects, including resource and energy efficiency and repair, and promoting circular economy aspects. The project´s outcome will be beneficial in strengthening the partner´s position in existing applications and reaching industries not yet exploited.
