The level of maturity of additive manufacturing (AM) technologies allows for numerous quasi-industrial applications in aerospace and certain automotive sectors. Simulation tools and experimental approaches allow for better control of this process. However, uncertainties remain regarding the reliabil

The VIVAE project aims to develop power electronics (PE) systems with increased lifespans or preserving subsystems with high functional, environmental and/or economic values, in line with industrial constraints. These systems are overlooked in eco-design and circular economy approaches due to the co

The VIMACO project aims to develop methods and tools for personalized augmented reality for industrial maintenance assistance. It is a collaborative research project (PRCE) involving the LiSPEN (engineering sciences in virtual immersion and artificial intelligence) and CAPS (cognitive sciences) labo

Collecting and labeling data for machine learning can be a time-consuming task, especially in a multimodal context (reverse engineering can be done from several modalities) where it is necessary to have labeling (by part) in several types of representations (B-Rep models, images, point clouds, depth

Reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) are currently considered one of the most promising avenues for business adaptability in the face of significant uncertainty. The underlying idea is to be able to modify both the physical structure and the structure of the RMS's control system to enable it t

Electron Microscopes (EMs) are widespread in a wide range of applications due to their unique and powerful visualization capabilities. Several key technologies have emerged that enable local additive/subtractive manufacturing using ion beams at the sub-micrometer scale, and dynamic 3D motion using n

Producing complex shaped parts with high added value by hybridizing WXAM concentrated energy additive manufacturing processes and 5-axis machining is a major innovation lever. This requires obtaining raw parts of “near net shape” quality to minimize machining operations and requires mastery of the p

The COVID-19 crisis has severely disrupted global supply chains, causing industrial interruptions and slowdowns that will have lasting effects. Companies have generally used “continuity plans” through overstocking or overproduction, but the crisis has shown that “cessation/switching plans” are neces

The objective of RECONFIDURABLE is to demonstrate that reconfigurable manufacturing systems (RMS) can be a basis for developing sustainable production systems. Initially designed to offer a new type of flexibility to manufacturing systems, they have intrinsic properties for implementing a new genera

REDeSIGN4D explores new bio-inspired, programmable shape-changing structures with controlled environmental impact. They are produced from flax fibers, combined with the use of innovative 4D printing, functionalization, multi-physics numerical simulation, and machine learning processes. Inspired by b

A prosthesis socket is the interface between the residual limb and the prosthetic components. Its role is to transfer mechanical forces between the body and the prosthesis, while ensuring optimum comfort for the user. The conventional process for manufacturing a socket is manual and iterative, relyi

Variable stiffness composites (VSCs) derived from Additive Manufacturing (AM) are fundamental for applications requiring lightweight and high performance. VSCs are obtained by placing the fiber along a curvilinear path in a given topology. However, general design strategies integrating the physical

Following the success of the IMAGINE project (ANR-15-CE10-0003), the consortium aims to expand research on integrated real-time decisions with predictive strategies. DILIGENT's goal is to transform intelligent manufacturing processes by proactively integrating dynamic control and planning. Productio

Dans l'industrie moderne, l'impression 3D révolutionne la fabrication de composants automobiles, ferroviaires, aéronautiques, ainsi que des prothèses et orthèses. Ce procédé transforme les modèles 3D en objets réels, permettant la production de pièces complexes et sur mesure, sans le coût de moules

The Me3dAx project aims to study the process by which 3D simulations of professional gestures are produced. In this perspective, the project will focus on the ways in which the plural points of view on the «value« of professional gesture can be translated digitally. This research starts from the hyp

Fossil resources depletion and environmental concerns urge the development of sustainable and eco- designed products. Hence, raw materials management and resource efficiency are today the most important societal challenges. Sustainability, eco-design and circular economy have become key drivers of i

In the context of Industry 4.0, flexible production plays an important role in the development of the factory of the future. The CHAIKMAT project aims to propose a new AI-based approach that will improve manufacturing flexibility, increase the transparency of decision-making, and strengthen human-ma

Current challenges in metal additive manufacturing are mainly due to complex multi-physics couplings induced by the history of thermal loading undergone by the part. The associated defects are essentially insufficient geometric accuracy and weak or unpredictable mechanical properties, which limits t

The sizing of buildings requires knowledge of the mechanical characteristics of the materials they are made of. Wood has the particularity of being very variable because it comes from a living being, so quality control is a crucial point in the use of wood as a construction material. Industrial non-

Putting humans back at the heart of production sites is a major challenge for a local and flexible industry. But their health must be preserved through safer and more ergonomic working conditions. Collaborative robotics holds promise for assisting humans with complex or demanding tasks, benefiting f
