Behind ORCHESTER is a highly motivated and internationally recognized project team that is working on an ambitious solution with a great deal of passion and creativity. The diagram below illustrates the complementarity of the competencies and roles of the six Fraunhofer Institutes involved along the value chain. At its core, Fraunhofer IWM stands for the digitally supported evaluation of the safety and reliability of materials and components during their usage and along process chains. As part of this flagship project, Fraunhofer IWM is also the consortium leader. Fraunhofer Institute for Systems and Innovation Research ISI researches the development of innovation processes and their social impact. Their experience in the areas of material flow modeling and sustainability assessment, including social aspects, is also highly relevant to the ORCHESTER flagship project. Fraunhofer IWKS has extensive expertise in holistic approaches to closing material cycles. With its pilot plant, Fraunhofer IWKS is the only institute within the Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft that can map the complete production and recycling process. Fraunhofer IWS develops complex system solutions in laser, surface and materials technology. Here, Fraunhofer IWS uses additive manufacturing as a screening method for sustainable material design in conjunction with high-throughput methods. FRAUNHOFER IZFP's activities focus on the development of intelligent sensor and data systems for material and process analysis. The emphasis here is on the investigation and implementation of digitalization in non-destructive testing. Fraunhofer IWU is the driving force behind research and development in production technology for “green” products in flexible material flows. Fraunhofer IWU is also involved in numerous activities in the field of Industry 4.0. #sustainability #innovation #WeKnowHow 📸 Fraunhofer IWM

One of REPOXYBLE functionalities within our multi functional approach is the #SmartManufacturing. #REPOXYBLE will use #infrared heating to enhance the fast curing of our resin. IR is an emerging curing technology for composites due to its high energy efficiency, predictable heating rate (the temperature change in unit time), and volumetric heating mechanism. While mostly used for heating thermomplastic materials, REPOXYBLE uses it for thermosets, dopping our resin with inorganic particles to promote the absorption rate of IR. REPOXYBLE will adopt an optimization routine for transfer learning between simulation and experimental data. Using process simulations, REPOXYBLE will use a data driven approach based on transfer learning to not only transfer domain knowledge from simulation to the real process but rather between process data, generating a sort of digital twin for the curing process of our demonstrators. #REPOXYBLE #SmartManufacturing #Multifunctionality #TransferLearning #HorizonEurope #IR #IRCuring #ThermosetsInnovation Avanzare Innovación Tecnológica | GAIKER Centro Tecnológico | ONYRIQ | University of Patras | University of Ljubljana | Distretto Aerospaziale della Campania - DAC | OMI - Officine Meccaniche Irpine | Universität für Bodenkultur Wien | Airi - Associazione Italiana per la Ricerca Industriale | SATURNTECH | Universitat de Girona | TEMAS Solutions | Riversimple | Gurit | University of Southampton | Aerogel Core Ltd

Ilkay Özkisaoglu, Co-Founder of Composites Lounge asks Alexander Chaloupka, CTO of sensXPERT what the moment was that it became clear to him that material characterization could be taken a step further? Alexander, during his tenure at Fraunhofer, was diving deep into material characterization with different equipment and different technologies. He says "... I was looking into different parameters of material". This is when he created a vision that there must be a way of creating the same information within the manufacturing, based on different sensor technologies, to really bridge the gap and to bring the two worlds together. Listen in this #Replay what challenges he had to overcome with the mindset of many experts "... based on the results I have generated at the same time, I could see there is no match between what the experts have told me that it's not possible and the experience I have gained and the knowledge I have gained so far, and that that drove me forward" Which is why he paved his own way. You will hear more about "specific algorithms to generate new information out of measuring or measurement data from the manufacturing" and "...that was when it was clear to me that I shouldn't just listen to the experts that are there that have done things so many years." Join this truly inspiring interview, where many of you, working in the engineering space will surely relate to. Also, please listen to the product that was presented during JEC World 2024 by Alexander. Any questions? Contact Alexander or his Team on LinkedIn!

NannoInnovation 2023: Toward industrial application of the Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) approach The safety and sustainability of chemicals and materials and their applications are a cornerstone of current EU policy and industrial strategies. Frameworks and criteria for practical implementation of Safe and Sustainable by Design (SSbD) approaches have been published by the OECD, European Commission, and industrial actors, such as CEFIC. These will increasingly become premium aspects to access funding and contracts and are a prerequisite to developing products aiming to fulfil sustainable development goals. This was the key topic of the workshop organized within the NanoInnovation Conference, showcased experiences and activities at the European level on the development of advanced materials and nano-enabled materials following the SSbD approaches developed within 5 EU-funded Research projects: ASINA, SABYDOMA , SAbyNA Horizon 2020 , Safe-by-Design for Nano and REPOXYBLE project #SafeAndSustainableByDesign #SSbD #HorizonEurope #REPOXYBLE Avanzare Innovación Tecnológica | GAIKER Centro Tecnológico | ONYRIQ | University of Patras | University of Ljubljana | Distretto Aerospaziale della Campania - DAC | OMI - Officine Meccaniche Irpine | Universität für Bodenkultur Wien | Airi - Associazione Italiana per la Ricerca Industriale | SATURNTECH | Universitat de Girona | TEMAS Solutions | Riversimple | Gurit | University of Southampton | Aerogel Core Ltd

Professore di Macchine Elettriche, Automazione e Robotica / Professor of Electrical Machines, Automation and Robotics
Excited to share the work we presented at the International Conference on Electrical Machines (ICEM) 2024 in Turin! Our research, conducted at the Department of Industrial and Information Engineering and Economics of L'Aquila, explores how synchronous reluctance motors (SynRMs) can make a quantum leap in performance, rivaling that of permanent magnet synchronous motors (PMSMs)—without relying on rare earth materials. By leveraging additive manufacturing and machine learning, we’ve unlocked new possibilities for SynRMs, enabling higher performance while promoting sustainability. This breakthrough aligns perfectly with the principles of a circular economy, reducing dependency on scarce resources and improving recyclability. A big step forward for both innovation and environmental responsibility! A special thanks to Professor Emeritus Enzo Chiricozzi, co-author of this work, for his invaluable contribution. #ICEM2024 #SustainableTechnology #AdditiveManufacturing #MachineLearning #CircularEconomy #ElectricMotors #Univaq #PoliTO
