Presentation

The objective here is to develop innovative technologies for the rapid and low-cost design of complex ceramic structures, known as “architectured” structures. These parts, with their large specific surface area and controlled porosity, have immense potential for applications in energy, metallurgy, filtration, and chemistry. The project explores two manufacturing methods (direct stereolithography and indirect replication) and combines them with a microwave sintering process, a rapid, carbon-free densification technology that minimizes environmental impact.

Partners

The partners collaborating on this demonstrator are UPHF (Valenciennes, France), CRIBC (Mons, Belgium), and Centexbel (Ghent, Belgium).
