Ambitious goals of the European Green Deal call for new sustainable and material-efficient manufacturing technologies that can reduce energy and raw material consumption; this objective can be upheld by extending the product life via optimized production methods, recovering product performance through refurbishing, and even improving its functions beyond design by remanufacturing. These are the overarching objectives of RE-MAKE that considers cold spray (CS), a solid-state metal powder deposition technique, as the key for a new route to additive manufacturing (AM), repair and remanufacturing. Thanks to its exceptional deposition efficiency, high build-up rate, limited energy consumption, and flexibility of material choice, CS is an ideal candidate for the EU Circular Economy Action Plan. However, currently, there are multiple scientific and industrial gaps, paired with poor awareness about CS's potential due to the lack of qualified engineers and scientists, that impede the full exploitation of CS. RE-MAKE is planned to establish CS as a unique sustainable and scalable tool for AM, remanufacturing and upcycling, paving the path to a green and efficient sustainable industrial development. This ambitious goal will be achieved by training highly qualified doctoral candidates (DCs) through advanced transversal and inter-sectoral training. The wide-ranging hard and soft skills the DCs will gain enable them to embark on tackling scientific and technological challenges with a practical perspective. Creating a network of leading European research and industrial partners, all working at the cutting edge of CS, will expose DCs to a holistic training with access to a wealth of expertise and a rare multidisciplinary environment. RE-MAKE will endow a first cohort of these essential researchers with a deep, discipline-specific knowledge, that will fullfill the increasing demand of the manufacturing industry for this missing profile.

欧洲绿色协议的宏伟目标要求新的可持续和材料效率高的制造技术，可以减少能源和原材料的消耗;这一目标可以通过优化生产方法延长产品寿命，通过翻新恢复产品性能，甚至通过再制造改善其功能。这些都是RE-MAKE的首要目标，认为冷喷涂（CS），一种固态金属粉末沉积技术，是增材制造（AM），维修和再制造新途径的关键。由于其卓越的沉积效率、高堆积率、有限的能耗和材料选择的灵活性，CS是欧盟循环经济行动计划的理想候选者。然而，目前，由于缺乏合格的工程师和科学家，存在多个科学和工业差距，加上对CS潜力的认识不足，阻碍了CS的充分利用。RE-MAKE计划将CS建立为AM、再制造和升级再造的独特可持续和可扩展工具，为绿色、高效的可持续工业发展铺平道路。这一雄心勃勃的目标将通过先进的横向和跨部门培训来培养高素质的博士候选人来实现。发展中国家将获得广泛的硬技能和软技能，使它们能够从实际角度着手应对科学和技术挑战。建立一个由欧洲领先的研究和工业伙伴组成的网络，所有这些伙伴都在计算机科学的前沿工作，这将使发展中国家接受全面的培训，获得丰富的专业知识和难得的多学科环境。RE-MAKE将赋予这些重要研究人员的第一批深入的，特定学科的知识，这将填补制造业对这一缺失的轮廓日益增长的需求。
