Project focused on the development of solutions that use additive manufacturing technologies to produce high-performance products for the automotive and aerospace industries. To this end, Powder-Bed Fusion and Material Extrusion technologies with metallic, polymeric and cementitious materials are included. Planned activities also include the development of materials, prediction/control systems and equipment.

In this context, at the premises of ARENA, at the School of Architecture, Art and Design of the University of Minho, critical knowledge is being developed, the refinement of formulation and technical specifications relating to Material Extrusion technology with ceramic and cementitious materials. As a result of research, prototypes such as the Hybrid Beam, Hybrid Columns and the Maritime Prototype are being developed.
