Debriefing Case
Automotive 1 – Hybrid materials
5th Plenary Meeting22 September 2015, Brussels
Objectives, Scope and Division of Labour
1. Objectives & Scope:
– Develope 3D-Printing-based technology for hybrid (metal-composite),
lightweight components for automotive applications � weight reduction,
safety, flexibility & cost-efficiency
– How? � connecting joint-demo facilities between regions = manufacturing
chain, testing, validating, certification of technologies & processes common
to various applications / products (“shared, joint tech platform”)
– � strong potential to impact other value chains outside automotive
(machinery, construction etc)
2. Participating regions, actors and division of labour:
– Case leader: Emilia-Romagna
– Participating regions: Aragon, Norte, Saxony, B-W, Lombardy
– Others: Wales ?
– Division of labour: ER: Manufacture, Aragona:Design, Saxony and BW:test

1. April-Sept 2015:
– Mapping + matching: Identification synergies between regions, first concept note
– June: discussion 1st concept note + new regions / actors / inputs
– July-Sept: fine-tuning concept, contacting companies
2. Oct 2015 – early 2016 ...
– Writing a Revised concept note
– Concept tested with some companies
– Collecting all interests and define pilots
– Specify targeted technologies / activities
– Elaborate ‘the case’: • Which configuration ?
• Which activities?
• Which funding model?
• ...

Contacts with Industrial Companies
1. Contacted companies1. Contacted companies– Lamborghini, some suppliers to Lamborghini, Ducati, FIAT, Automotive
cluster Aragon, Porsche and some suppliers, Daimler and some suppliers ... Plus some Machinery & Tooling companies in IT
– For three of them an abstract of interest has been subscribed (generic, no specific application was intentionally specified). Some Keywords: fatigue sensitive, durability, lightweight
2. Outcomes– From genuine interest (especially components manufacturers) (companies
ready to co-invest) to interest “only if” major players are in (companies at the window)
– Constraints: Funding must start from public sector; cofunding by companies is obviously acceptable for materials, moulds, tools.
– IPR must be clearly set; still no talks on Institutional setting.
– A joint-techn platform could be initially based on main existing facilities, by connecting demonstrators on different regions. Public funding could be used to (1) fill the gap for basic equipments and (2) people work
– Timeline: 3 years?

Debriefing Case
Automotive 2- Metal products 3D Printing for Automotive components, tools and moulds
5th Plenary Meeting22 September 2015, Brussels
Objectives, Scope and Division of Labour
1. Objectives & Scope:1. Objectives & Scope:
AM metal for automotive components demonstration activities: freeform morphologies
and function graded materials (Titanium, Metal matrix composites, Aluminum, Inconel, Titanium Aluminide, Invar, among others).
Complex parts trying to follow the natural automotive flow from niche / motorsport vehicle parts to medium to high series production vehicles, e.g. exhaust manifold, suspension arms, steering knuckles.
And metallic inserts for carbon fiber reinforced thermoplastics, as this technology enables fast rate production of high performance components and for special tooling (e.g. enhanced process to produce injection molding inserts with conformal cooling for the optical plastics).
Direct Metal AM should be also considered Metal casted on AM molds, as well.
Business Relevance and ‘distance-to-market’:High performance parts, tools and moulds
– TRL from 5 to 8
– Potential: New design and competitive products, higher performance, complementary existing post-process competences, Faster penetration of the market, faster production, bridge production, new solutions, new design (thinking)

weight structures to take advantage of one of the strongest points of AM, the freeform ability in
part design;
• Sustainable design and Environmental impact of Direct and Indirect Metal AM vs Conventional
Technologies in order to verify the environmental footprint of these new processes.
PRODUCTION AND TECHNOLOGICAL IMPLEMENTATION• Establish component properties and characteristics (strength, stiffness, density, accuracy etc.) as
functions of process parameters including laser specification, material characteristics and feed,
process path etc.
• Optimise laser surface structuring procedures for optimization of bonding.
• Application of innovative high-production molding techniques to high advanced components.
TESTING TECHNIQUES AND DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS• Testing characterization of materials, light weight structures and parts, as manufactured and
heat treated. Performing of destructive tests on coupons or samples like tensile, static,
dynamic, fatigue, microstructure and x-ray, or NDT testing on parts e.g. dimensional and
geometrical analysis, Digital image correlation, 3D measurement with structured light and
photogrammetry.

1. ‘Opening’ part of regional funding towards each other1. ‘Opening’ part of regional funding towards each other– Using ”own resources” for interregional projects without extensive
bureaucracy, based on our own (and our partners) needs
– Each participating region uses its own resources (ERDF, ESF, national/regional funds…)
– Each projet in every region adds a budget line for interregional cooperation: traveling, expert costs etc.
– No transfer of funds (ERDF Regulation article 70)
– Good practice ? � FIN-Tampere: • part of ERDF-budget earmarked for investment in 3DP (incl demonstration)
(2,3 mio€)
• Part of which can be spent outside the region/country
• Travel costs, exchange of experts ...
• Replicable in other regions ?
� Who volunteers to further investigate this ?

2. Opening own, regional “Vouchers’ systems”
– IDEA: allowing the voucher to be spent outside the region
– ‘best value for money’-principle: each region/RTO takescare of own Cies/SMEs, but place where Demo-services are bought doesn’t matter
– Expected effects: increase mobility, rationalization & focused investments
– � very closed to EC ‘one-stop shop’ idea, in line with EC tool for SME access to KETs Infrastructure
– Wallonia strongly considers opening its vouchers’ system
