REFURBISHMENT AND ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING ACCOMPLISHED BY KINETIC DEPOSITION (RE-MAKE)

欧洲绿色协议的雄心勃勃的目标呼吁开发新的可持续和高材料效率的制造技术，以降低能源和原材料消耗；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设计以外的功能，可以实现这一目标。这些是Re-Make的首要目标，它认为冷喷涂(CS)是一种固态金属粉末沉积技术，是实现添加制造(AM)、维修和再制造的新途径的关键。由于其出色的沉积效率、高积累率、有限的能源消耗和灵活的材料选择，CS是欧盟循环经济行动计划的理想候选者。然而，目前存在多个科学和产业差距，加上由于缺乏合格的工程师和科学家而对CS的潜力认识不足，阻碍了CS的充分开发。Re-Make计划将CS建立为AM、再制造和升级的独特可持续和可扩展工具，为绿色和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高级横向和跨部门培训培训高素质的博士生(DC)来实现。区议会将获得广泛的硬技能和软技能，使他们能够从实用的角度着手应对科学和技术挑战。创建一个由领先的欧洲研究和工业合作伙伴组成的网络，这些合作伙伴都在CS的前沿工作，这将使DC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厚的、特定于学科的知识，这将填补制造业对这一缺失特征日益增长的需求。

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.
