you to the best node that help you: defining the types of services offered ,
access costs (guidance), consultancy, etc.
This network will be extended to other RTOs and to previous EU initiatives

During the INTEGRADDE project there is a unique opportunity
to be able to access to the network services at no cost through
an open call (expression of Interest) due to the costs would be
covered by the European Commission. Applicant will be
requested to submit their EOI throught www.fundingbox.com

The AMable Services Arena – Visualisation / Immersive Design
ID 307
Service name
Visualization/Immersive design
Service description
Immersive design and connection with CAD packages will be developed to enable the user to experiment with variants, allowing quick and
affordable pre-assessment of product design.
Service offering
The service focuses at providing the user with a realistic representation of the end result of the AM process through an immersive design
environment. The ambition is to create a software module able to directly generate a realistic visualization of a certain part after being
Additively Manufactured directly from a CAD file. The tool should be able to take into account surface texture/roughness based on the
selected material, process/machine type and/or machine settings (such as layer thickness) and generate an appropriate texture to be
mapped on the surface of the CAD model so that the user can have a realistic view on how the part will look right after production. The user
should be able to modify selected production parameters as well as the CAD file, to understand how these affect the way the part looks.
In addition, coupling with the modelling & simulation stage would enable the visualization tool to use the distorted “as manufactured” 3D
model instead of the user-provided CAD file, so that a “virtual prototype” will be available for the user to decide if his requirements are met
or if any further redesign and/or optimization is required.
Service key benefits
• Ability to realistically visualize product
• Direct involvement of customers for feedback during the design phase
• Ability to fully grasp part surface roughness and/or finishing, as AM surfaces usually are not smooth
• Ability to fully comprehend distortion magnitude and effects without redesigning the part, as well as effects of a potential redesign to
minimization of distortion
• Enabling product customization

www.amable.eu
768775
The AMable Services Arena –Design for AM
ID 306
Service name
Design for AM
Service description
This service will provide the knowledge to enable the creation of an AM-buildable product, while integrating incoming design data
(customer scan or other input data) and creating the required instructions (file for build, post-processing, inspection instructions) to ensure
the final product matches the design requirement. The design process may include a part consolidation exercise, structural optimisation,
design concepts, customisation, reverse engineering or simply the redesign of a component for build-ability through AM processes.
Service offering
This service offers to provide working knowledge of how to design products for manufacture by AM in different applications (e.g. topology
optimisation, tooling improvement, Part consolidation to improve lead times and Customer-led product design). Customers will be able to
access design tools (hardware and software) and resources through this service, and the service will help them through their first AM
design process. This will empower SMEs to do functional design, part consolidation and design based on customer input either through scan
data or requirements capture.
Service key benefits
• Cost effective designs
• De-risking the build
• Accessing design guidelines/tools/resources

7 Transformation
Areas

T1 – Advanced Manufacturing Technologies
This transformation is based on deploying state-of-the-art manufacturing devices.
T2 – Digital Factory
Companies use digital technology to support and transform the development of
products and/or processes into physical products, systems or services.
All employees are supported by digital and integrated processes

T3 – ECO Factory
Companies are well attuned to the significance of the environmental impact of their
activities and are constantly searching for ways to reduce the ecological footprint of
their processes, products and services.
T4 – End-to-End Customer Focused Engineering
Manufacturing SMEs use customer expectations as the key driver and starting point
for all new developments and processes.

T5 – Human Centred Organisation
Employees are involved and motivated to provide top performance, through
continuous/repetitive evaluation of their skills and update of their competencies through
training, coaching, etc.
T6 – Smart Manufacturing
Smart Manufacturing can be defined as the combination of the smart use of people’s
capabilities, the smart use of technology and the deployment of a (self-) learning
production system.
Maximum efficiency, flexibility and value creation of shopfloor people

T7 – Value Chain Oriented Open Factory
In a world of exponentially increasing technology developments and fast changing
customer demands, companies need to develop their products, manufacturing
processes and services with the complete value chain in mind.
Co-creation expands innovative capabilities of individual companies.
Factories are evolving from solo-players to networked organisations that share
both risk and capital.

Maturity assesment
Each of the 7
transformation areas
are being assessed
