The workshop intends to highlight the potentialities and limitations of investment casting to meet aerospace needs, focusing on the contributions that the most up-to-date rapid prototyping techniques can offer in order to reduce the time and costs associated with the realisation of prototypes or small series.
The aim is to capture aerospace and aeronautic needs providing high-value precision mechanical components, made up of advanced metallic alloys, characterized by high geometric complexity, but in small series. The project aims to combine the consolidated production capacity of investment casting with the most modern rapid prototyping techniques.
The workshop is promoted by the MATRIS consortium under the MANUSPACE project funded by the Lazio Region. The consortium includes Rina Consulting Centro Sviluppo Materiali and the three Universities of Rome: La Sapienza, Tor Vergata and Roma Tre.
The MANUSPACE Project aims to demonstrate and analyze the potentialities of a Near-Net Shape production line for the production of special components for aerospace application.
