The project aims to spread data-driven smart manufacturing technologies by introducing direct digital manufacturing and additive manufacturing methods in the civil aviation, automotive and composites sectors, particularly among SMEs.

Results Achieved / Expected Outputs

Expected Outputs

  1. 01 Establishment, within Sabancı University’s Integrated Manufacturing Technologies Research and Application Centre, of a facility called the “Direct Digital Manufacturing Platform” so that SMEs and other stakeholders in the civil aviation, automotive and composites sectors can use direct digital manufacturing, additive manufacturing and data-driven smart manufacturing technologies, together with baseline analysis, capacity building and support for R&D, product development and commercialisation for target groups
  2. 02 Use by target groups, primarily SMEs, of direct digital manufacturing, additive manufacturing and data-driven smart manufacturing technologies in new product development, in producing complex-geometry products and in examining material structures and testing durability, through the equipment to be purchased (scanning electron microscope, 3D printer, laboratory devices for examining material structure and testing durability under different conditions, etc.)
  3. 03 Establishment and commissioning of the “Direct Digital Manufacturing Platform”
  4. 04 Baseline analysis for SMEs and other stakeholders
  5. 05 Training, pilot applications, university–industry cooperation and support for commercialisation
  6. 06 Promotional activities to raise awareness of the methods and technologies the project focuses on
