Meet the new #HorizonEU funded project @Disco2030!
Its goal is to make metal-based additive manufacturing faster, cheap, and more sustainable. The @DISCO2030 project aims to develop two innovative hybrid manufacturing methods for joining dissimilar metal-metal and metal-polymer materials. Both proposed methods are underpinned by #AdditiveManufacturing (AM) technologies from the emerging technology families of #PowderBedFusion (PBF) and Directed…
