Metal Additive Manufacturing is identified as a key technology because it has two main advantages: Making pieces with complex shapesPossibility to realise very small flexible seriesIt is estimated that the market grows by 20 % each year and it is essential that France remains in competition with this technology. Many projects focus on Additive Manufacturing, including: Design, digitalisationThe characterisation and performance of partsThe implementation of this technology and new processesWith large centres of competence (IRT Jules Vernes, CETIM, Mines).Normandy has strong skills around: powders (Metal Value to come)Studies and modeling on powder, from the finished product to its optimisation in situ or post-manufacture: structure/property relationship (GPM, CNRT Materials, Analysis and Surfaces, CEVAA, ArianeGroup)Implementation — Industry (Volum-e/ArianeGroup)
