ADDOPTML – ADDitively Manufactured OPTimized Structures by means of Machine Learning

Programme: H2020 Agreement nº 101007595 _ MSCA-RISE-2020 Marie Skłodowska-Curie Research and Innovation Staff Exchange (RISE)

Objective: Additive manufacturing (also known as 3D printing) is an integral part of current digital industry concepts, and therefore a pillar of the so-called fourth industrial revolution. The Architecture, Engineering and Construction Industry is reluctant, however, to adopt additive manufacturing technologies in the design and construction of structural elements, such as buildings or bridges. Since the 1980s, this industry has been an important economic pillar, which has expanded and strengthened due to the phenomenon of globalization. This development is not without its problems, and the sector is a major energy consumer, as well as a major producer of waste and polluting elements. In this sense, the recent Green New Deal for Europe establishes as a primary objective the reform of heavy industry, which represents 40% of the energy consumed on the continent.

Consortium: Politecnico di Torino (POLITO), University of Cyprus (UCY), University of Suttgart (USTUTT), University of Athens (UOA), IDEA75,  IDONIAL, European Welding Federation (EWF), INNOVASPHERE, STRUCTURES & SENSORS, RISA, Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB), INFERSENCE, Jordan University of Science and Technology (JUST)

Duration: May 2021 – April 2025
