COMPOVERT Guest lecture: Additive Manufacturing at the service of R&D

💥 Interested to know more about how additive manufacturing is reshaping current research avenues? How it can optimize complex tooling design or enable the production of metallic structured reactors with unmatched geometries? And what are the future challenges for composite materials printing?

🎤 During the joint guest lecture series of the Interreg France-Wallonie-Vlaanderen sister projects OBIWAN Interreg FWVL Project, ValCelMat and COMPOVERT, Maxence Renaux, Ph.D will introduce you to "Additive Manufacturing at the service of R&D", and will delve deeper into:

• The core technologies: A brief overview of additive manufacturing processes.

• From Theory to Practice: Real-world applications, from rapid prototyping to high-performance tooling and metallic structured reactors.

• The Future of Materials: Insights into the COMPOVERT project and the promising perspectives of 3D-printed composites.
