Description
This initiative focuses on bolstering European industrial sovereignty by advancing domestic production capabilities for essential, high-performance goods. To reduce reliance on foreign supply chains, the program promotes the development of sophisticated machinery and methods like additive manufacturing and hybrid processing.
Goals
Desenvolver tecnologias e maquinaria de fabrico avançado para produtos estratégicos, visando aumentar produtividade, flexibilidade e qualidade, melhorar a eficiência de materiais/energia e reduzir pegada ambiental, com integração de digitalização/IA/robótica e princípios centrados no ser-humano.
Scope
1. Manufacturing technology (core) You must develop: machinery; processes; integrated manufacturing lines; digital optimisation (digital twins, AI, monitoring). Not just materials research. 2. Circularity (mandatory, not optional) You should show: recycled/secondary raw materials; reuse/remanufacturing; waste reduction; design-for-disassembly; repair or refurbishment strategies 3. Advanced materials You can include: lightweight; functionalized; self-healing; smart materials; but materials development cannot be the main objective. Although it is also mentioned digital twins for materials and SSbD (Safe & Sustainable by Design), the focus must stay on manufacturing adaptation.
Target audience
Fabricantes de equipamentos, integradores, PME industriais, fornecedores digitais/robótica, universidades e centros de I&D; envolvimento de utilizadores finais.
