One week to go to the Si-DRIVE kick-off meeting, which will be hosted by University of Limerick on March 21-22. Si-DRIVE will tackle the major barriers to EV uptake, which relate to driving range, cost and recharge times, by completely re-imagining the lithium ion battery.
MAESTRO contest
In the framework of the European project MAESTRO (Modular laser-based additive manufacturing platform for large scale industry) the consortium intends to demonstrate the MAESTRO platform capabilities on a 5th demonstrator. Companies are invited to propose case studies for future products to be manufactured by the MAESTRO technologies. The proposals will be evaluated (vs. economical, technical and societal criteria) and ranked by the project partners. For the best proposal, the fabrication process will be characterised with respect to industrialisation, i.e. throughput, throughput time, process parameter control, yield, cost. Free prototyping of the products will be proposed to the winner of the contest.
