The Specific Objectives to reach the overall project aim are:
O1 | Re-confirm the use-case KPIs to be achieved during the demonstration phase, qualify the
candidate materials, and develop novel dissimilar material testing protocols.
O2 | Develop a first-of-a-kind hybrid manufacturing method for joining dissimilar
metal-metal materials by building upon a combination of P-DED/PA and PBF (pathway 1 for achieving
graded materials) and P-DED/LB and PBF (pathway 2 for achieving joined materials).
O3 | Develop a first-of-a-kind hybrid manufacturing method for joining dissimilar
metal-polymer materials by building upon a combination of W-DED and POL-DED.
O4 | Upscale and demonstrate the two novel hybrid manufacturing technologies in
relevant environment (TRL 6) as part of three use-cases (aerospace, marine, automotive) by
manufacturing the three use-case parts and subjecting them to bespoke testing programmes according
to standards of the respective industry.
O5 | Disseminate, exploit and communicate the project results, pave the way for technology
commercialisation post-project.
