I&DT Project - 3DCompCer

The 3DCompCer project aims to develop complex machining tools through innovative additive manufacturing (AM) techniques, namely machining tools with internal cooling systems. The development of tools differentiated from existing ones presents as an innovation the possibility to extend the field of application of ceramic-based machining tools in more demanding machining conditions and with longer lifetimes. At the same time, the optimisation of tool geometry through the introduction of internal coolant channels will significantly reduce tool weight and simultaneously reduce the consumption of expensive raw materials. The optimisation of MA processing on ceramic-based materials for machining tools is innovative and disruptive, bringing benefits in terms of tool performance, material reduction and processing speed.
