Politecnico di Milano hosted kick-off meeting of the European Innovation Council-funded MADECOLD project. The meeting, held on June 18th, 2024, brought together an assembly of distinguished professors and researchers from some of Europe’s leading universities. The project, aimed at revolutionizing solid-state deposition through high-voltage electrostatic fields to accelerate and charge metal powder particles, has participation from University College Dublin, Trinity College Dublin, and the University of Stuttgart. The project aspires to enhance efficiency, reduce material consumption, and ensure the required accuracy for printing components.
Distinguished Guests and Attendees
The kick-off meeting at Politecnico di Milano was attended by notable academicians and researchers including:
Professor Mario Guagliano and Professor Sara Bagherifard from Politecnico di Milano. Professor Nikolaos Papakostas and Professor Stephen Redmond from University College Dublin. Professor Rocco Lupoi and Professor Shuo Yin from Trinity College Dublin. Professor Ralf Srama and Professor Yanwei Li from the University of Stuttgart.
These experts, along with their teams, gathered to discuss the project’s roadmap, key objectives, and collaborative strategies.
Looking Ahead
The MADECOLD project is set to span over four years, with significant milestones and deliverables planned throughout its duration. Regular meetings and workshops will ensure continuous collaboration and knowledge sharing among the participating universities. The project’s outcomes are expected to set new standards in solid-state additive manufacturing process, with potential applications across manufacturing sector.
As the meeting concluded, there was a palpable sense of excitement and optimism among the attendees. The collaborative spirit and shared vision of the participating institutions underscored the potential for significant advancements in the field.
The successful kick-off meeting at Politecnico di Milano marks the beginning of a promising journey for the MADECOLD project. With the combined expertise and dedication of the involved universities, the project is poised to make groundbreaking contributions to the future of the additive manufacturing sector.
Stay tuned for more updates on the progress and developments of the Madecold project as it unfolds over the coming years.
