Altair Supports Italian Research Project to Optimize Metal 3D Printing

As part of the MAM4HP (“Metallic Additive Manufacturing for High Performances”) research program, technology company Altair is contributing to the further development of additive manufacturing processes for metal components. The initiative is part of Italy’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) and is funded through the European Union’s NextGenerationEU program. The program aims to improve the design and manufacturing efficiency of metal components by leveraging simulation and digital engineering tools.

Altair is contributing its HyperWorks platform to the project, which includes tools for structural optimization, topology analysis, and parametric modeling. These capabilities allow mechanical parts to be redesigned at an early development stage to ensure they are well-suited for additive manufacturing processes.

“Altair is proud to support MAM4HP and help advance Italy’s additive manufacturing capabilities,” said Stefano Deiana, vice president, Spain, France and Italy, Altair. “By combining our simulation and optimization technologies with the ingenuity of other MAM4HP partners, we’re accelerating innovation and enabling the next generation of components.”

The 18-month project is structured into two phases. The first phase focuses on redesigning existing components, taking into account material-specific properties and additive manufacturing requirements. The second phase will examine and refine printing parameters and post-processing steps to ensure their efficiency and reproducibility.

Industry partners in the project include Leonardo, Ducati, Bonfiglioli, and Poggipolini, who are providing specific components as case studies. These parts will be reengineered based on a design-for-additive-manufacturing approach to optimize them for metal 3D printing. MAM4HP thus follows a systematic strategy to make additive manufacturing more sustainable and reliable in industrial settings.
