"Engineering the Future: Harnessing Topology Optimization and Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing for Advanced Design Solutions"
Friday, 21 June 2024
Join us for an in-depth exploration of Topology Optimization and Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM), transformative technologies at the forefront of industrial design innovation. This webinar delves into how topology optimization not only maximizes material efficiency but also unleashes new possibilities in design flexibility and performance by identifying optimal material distribution and structural integrity for any given load condition.
Paired with the practical capabilities of WAAM, these methodologies foster the creation of lighter, stronger, and more sustainable structures. Learn from real-world applications and case studies that demonstrate their impact on reducing time-to-market and enhancing product performance in modern manufacturing. »
Speaker N°1: Dr. Constantinos Goulas, Assistant Professor at University of Twente and Scientific Advisor at RAMLAB
Speaker N°2: Dr. Franz Bormann, Research Engineer and Program Manager at Materials innovation institute M2i

Non-destructive testing and monitoring techniques for additive manufactured metallic parts
Friday, 12 April 2024
The principal objective of the Grade2XL project is to print extra-large structures using the WAAM (Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing) method with a complete control of the fabrication process. Since WAAM is a relatively new technology for printing large specimens, it is important to develop quality assurance methods that can be used during the fabrication and once the structure has been built, which is the focus of CEA List in the project. Join this webinar and our two experts from the Grade2XL consortium to learn about in-line monitoring systems, characterization and Non Destructive Testing techniques applied to WAAM.
Speaker N°1: Steve MAHAUT, Head of Monitoring, Control and Diagnosis Unit CEA
Speaker N°2: Anaïs BAUMARD, Research Engineer CEA
