We, at Prodigma, take great pride in announcing that our COMPADDITIVE project, submitted under the Smart Advanced Manufacturing platform and TÜBİTAK International Industry R&D Projects Support Program (1509), has been approved and deemed worthy of support.

This project, titled “The Transformation of Composite Layup Tools with Additive Manufacturing in the Industry,” was evaluated and approved under TÜBİTAK’s “Regulation on Technology and Innovation Support Programs” and “Implementation Principles of the TÜBİTAK International Industry R&D Projects Support Program.” This collaboration not only highlights the scientific and technological robustness of the project on an international scale but also aims to establish new standards in additive manufacturing technologies with the support of two major organizations.

The COMPADDITIVE project has been developed to redesign composite production moulds, used in high-precision industries such as aerospace and aviation, through innovative Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies. The primary objectives of the project are as follows:

  •    Reducing lead times by up to 60%,   
  •    Achieving cost savings exceeding 25%,
  •    Enabling environmentally friendly and rapid production of moulds with complex geometries.

Proje kapsamında kullanılan Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) ve Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) teknolojileri, geleneksel yöntemlerin ötesine geçerek süreçleri daha verimli, ekonomik ve sürdürülebilir hale getirmektedir.

Prodigma, bu projede:

   •    Thermoplastic material selection,
   •    Surface quality optimization,    
   •    Repairability processes.

Our innovative approaches streamline the production processes of moulds, making them agile and economical, while also ensuring their reintegration into the value chain at the end of their lifecycle.

The project, coordinated by Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI), is being carried out with the strong contributions of an international consortium, including:

   •    AiBuild     
   •    Additure     
   •    Voestalpine-Böhler     
   •    Prodigma     
   •    Turkish Aerospace Industries (TAI)     
   •    The University of Sheffield Advanced Manufacturing Research Center (AMRC)
