LightMe Final Review
The final review of the project highlighted the main achivements and test cases worked during the LightMe project lifetime.
Lightweight materials have become increasingly critical for producing components for aircrafts, cars, trains, ships, defence equipment and consumer goods.
Especially, lightweight metal and alloys possess high strength-to-weight ratios and low density. Common applications are met in the automotive, aerospace, manufacturing, railway and other large niche applications.
The LightMe project aspires to be a point of reference for boosting innovation in the field
of lightweight metal matrix nanocomposites (MMnC) setting up an Open Innovation Ecosystem (test bed)
that will boost the introduction of new functionalities, features and capabilities to lightweight
metals.
LightMe Sustainable
Set up a sustainable open innovation ecosystem for efficient, low cost and fast upscaling of lightweight metal alloys and nanocomposites.
LightMe Increase
To increase volume production of HPDC by optimizing several parameters such as melt volume, melt temperature, stirring rate.
LightMe Reduction
Reduce by 70% the amount of faulty parts per day produced by the Borealis machine via integration of a closed loop control able to detect and correct.
LightMe Network
To establish clustering and networking channels with EPPN, ΑΜ-Motion, European Materials Characterization etc.
Collaborate with European initiatives including open data repositories and regulatory agencies.
