The AMI will be doing fundamental research along the entire value chain of Advanced Manufacturing. As the pioneering facility for the industrialization of additive manufacturing for metals and advanced materials it will have a focus on three complementary research areas:
- Development of new materials for advanced manufacturing
- Development and optimization of processes
- Development of an end-to-end Digitization
Equipped with an initial annual budget of 3 million euros, up to 30 individual projects of young doctoral researchers, focusing on technical issues along the entire value chain, will be conducted within the next 5 years. This includes, for example, the development of tailor-made new materials as well as investigations into the printing process, the process-material interaction, and the entire additive production process.
