A recent publication in CORDIS is spotlighting the innovative efforts performed by the LightMe project. This project is at the forefront of advancing lightweight metal alloy composites crucial for automotive, aerospace, and manufacturing industries, with a shared goal of sustainable innovation.
The LightMe project is an Open Innovation test Bed (OITB), addressing technical limitations and accelerating the development of nanocomposites. With 25 partners from 15 European Member States, LightMe has established an ecosystem focused on upscaling production processes for lightweight metals. Through six pilot lines offering advanced manufacturing services, LightMe has made significant strides in material technology development, paving the way for real-world applications such as producing lightweight steering pinions for the automotive industry.
Similarly, the FLAMINGo project proposes the efficient production of high-performance lightweight Aluminium nano-composite materials for green vehicles. With its novel metallurgical and forming combined approach, FLAMINGo aims to revolutionise the automotive industry by creating high-performance lightweight materials tailored for green vehicles.
