Funded by the European Union through NextGenerationEU resources.
Altair has joined the Metallic Additive Manufacturing for High Performances (MAM4HP) research program, part of Italy’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) and funded by the European Union through NextGenerationEU. The project involves several Italian companies and focuses on advancing additive manufacturing technologies.
Spanning over 18 months, the MAM4HP project is structured in two phases. The first phase focuses on the redesign and structural optimization of mechanical components to ensure they’re suitable for additive manufacturing. The second phase will focus on optimizing printing parameters and post-production processes.
As part of the program, the Altair HyperWorks design and simulation platform will allow redesign activities to be developed in accelerated timelines, providing designers with solutions ready for subsequent manufacturing. Altair’s solutions will also be used to analyze specific shapes, which allow the sizing of particularly critical artifacts to be optimized.
Other MAM4HP partners, including Leonardo, Ducati, Bonfiglioli, Poggipolini, and Jumo Design, have proposed use cases to redesign components for additive manufacturing based on a design for additive manufacturing approach.
