5. Our technologies
BeAM Magic 2.0, Machine using a Laser
Metal Deposition technology (LMD-P/DED)
The Magic 2.0 has been develloped by
BeAM to manufacture high value AM parts
« from the scratch », to repair and add new
features to large parts using a 5 axes
machine. The powder deposition system, as
an innovative process using continue 3D
printing, allows Addimadour to become a
brand new kind of research centre.
Robot + CMT torch
Cold Metal Transfer is the second
technology of Addimadour. It allows to
manufacture large (several meters) rough
parts with high deposition speed and
reducing residual stress.
Robot + Laser effector
This technology is currently develloped by ESTIA in
the Addimafil project frame, in partnership with
several important industrial groups.

11. And Now?

12. Les ambitions de la plateforme
 Un partenariat stratégique
L’ESTIA et sa plateforme ADDIMADOUR ainsi que ses partenaires industriels entendent bâtir un projet ambitieux issu de
l’innovation technologique de rupture. L’objectif du projet est multiple et il constitue en :
• Faire d’Addimadour un centre d’excellence sur les technologies de fabrication additive lui permettant de rayonner
au niveau régional, national et international autour de trois thématiques :
• la recherche et le développement,
• le transfert de technologie et les projets « d’ingénierie »,
• la formation,
• Faire monter en compétences les industriels locaux sur ces technologies et, au delà, sur l’usine du futur
Pour cela le projet a pour volonté de s’appuyer sur une démarche collaborative d’un partenariat public/privé en y intégrant
des donneurs d’ordres, des partenaires de rang 1 ainsi qu’en y fédérant une supply chain globale

13. Les ambitions de la plateforme
Le but industriel est d’adresser les points suivants :
• Accompagner le déploiement des technologies de fabrication additive dans l’industrie aéronautique et autres
• Industrialiser et automatiser les technologies
• Créer d’une filière complète dynamique et avant gardiste (matériaux, machines, logiciels, conception, production,
post traitements, contrôles, essais, formation,..)
• Mettre sur le marché des produits, pièces élémentaires et sous ensembles innovants et compétitifs
La plateforme est ouverte à l'accueil d'équipements
complémentaires, entreprises, projet de R&D et tiers
