AMAZE
Building confidence in additive manufacturing.
AMAZE - Additive Manufacturing Aiming towards Zero Waste & Efficient Production on High-Tech Metal Products - is a collaboration of 26 leading companies and institutions in European academia, research and industry - the largest and most ambitious group ever assembled on the topic of additive manufacturing (AM).
The primary goal of the project is to rapidly produce large defect-free metallic components up to two metres in size, ideally with zero waste, for use in high-tech sectors such as aerospace, automotive, space and energy.
We are working to turn the additive manufacture of metallic components into a mainstream industrial process by improving quality, technology, reliability and consistency, and promoting new innovations in:
- Materials
- Product design
- High productivity AM processes
- In-process monitoring
- Post-processing
- Inspection techniques
AMAZE will create a unique, multi-sector production infrastructure, unparalleled in the world.
