PPS06 – Additive Manufacturing Equipment for Large-scale Products (>1m3)

PPS 6 outputs manufacturing systems for additive production of products exceeding 1m3 in dimension, catering to various application areas and utilizing different materials. These manufacturing systems developed by INOV. AM differ from those of PPS5 in their ability to produce larger products with lower dimensional precision requirements. Outputs originate from WPs 5, 12, 13, 16, 17, 19, and 20 (at least 6 new additive manufacturing systems):

• WP5: Productive cell for additive manufacturing of large-scale parts in a controlled environment;
• WP12: Complete additive manufacturing cell with a maximum build size of 12 meters, capable of processing both thermoplastics and thermosetting materials using extrusion processes;
• WP13: Large-scale production cell for products made of thermoplastic pre-preg composites;
• WP16: Hybrid additive manufacturing cell for ceramic paste;
• WP17: Hybrid additive manufacturing cell for ceramic powders and extrusion;
• WP19: Robotized hybrid additive manufacturing cell, integrated into a comprehensive digital ecosystem, for fabricating parts and structures for the construction sector;
• WP20: Large-scale productive cell enabling the deposition of thermoplastics with inclusion of pine and eucalyptus fibers, as well as the ability to deposit wood tapes for producing panels with freeform shapes.
