The objective of the "DiCoMI" project is to bring together leading innovators to develop a new method for manufacturing composite materials with optimal fiber orientation. Within the "DiCoMI" project, innovative equipment was created for the 3D printing of aviation (and other) components using continuous carbon fiber and a polymer matrix. This is a truly innovative system for producing composite products with increased precision, expanded functionality, and reduced costs. The project activities are carried out through the exchange of research and technical staff, specifically through secondments lasting from 1 month.
