NANO-SIM 3D

NANO SIM 3D_Grupo Simoldes_Development of new composites with metallic and thermoplastic matrix:

The NANO-SIM 3D project is divided into two areas with different lines of research. It aims to develop new nanocomposite materials based on metallic and thermoplastic matrices.

One of the research areas is based on the development of new formulations incorporating metal matrix nanocomposites for the production of new innovative moulding components. This area uses additive manufacturing techniques.

The other research area is the development of thermoplastic components using polymer matrix nanocomposites. This will allow the development of new innovative thermoplastic parts optimised in their most critical characteristics.

The solutions to be implemented within this project will be at the forefront of future applications in a wide range of industries (e.g. mobility, packaging, household goods, etc.).

With an overall investment of €3,793,894.69, this project is co-funded under the Portugal 2020 Programme at €3,037,303.13 from the European Regional Development Fund.

The NANO-SIM 3D project is a three-year project, from December 2018 to May 2022, with Simoldes Aços as promoter and Simoldes Plásticos and CICECO from the University of Aveiro as co-promoters.
