Project of the EU Framework Program
"Horizon 2020" - DiCoMI
The DiCoMI project aims to bring together leading innovators to develop a new method of producing composite material parts with optimized fibre directionality. The consortium will develop innovative equipment for 3D printing of aeronautical and other components using directional fibre-reinforced polymer material. It will be a truly novel composites manufacturing system capable of producing parts with increased accuracy, enhanced functionality and reduced cost. Project works are implemented in the frame of the research and innovation staff exchanges, so-called internships of 1 month + duration.
