List of projects approved by the MecaTech Cluster since the end of 2006:
BIO-AFP is a project aimed at developing anti-finger print properties on glass andmetal through biomolecules. To deal with the problem of unsightly finger prints effectively, the industrial concerns AGC Glass Europe, Arceo, Nanoxid, De Leuze, Symbiose Biomaterials, and Realco and a series of scientific partners (Liège University’s Metallurgy Research Center and Mons University) decided to …
The CALFDM project aims to develop a simulation and characterization software to evaluate the mechanical properties and to ensure the functional resistance of components manufactured in 3D printing. The process of additive manufacture by deposition of molten wire (FDM), also called 3D printing, is today commonly recognized as an integral part of a new industrial …
Nuclear medicine is a well-established market in oncology. IBA and Elysia are two Walloon companies that are very active in this field. IBA has long-standing experience in providing comprehensive solutions for radiopharmaceutical distribution centres. These solutions include production plant from various partners, of which Elysia is one. Besides high quality production equipment, the two companies …
CARMAT is a project aimed at increasing the recyclability of steel mill slag by recovering the fine fractions for which there are no or few outlets and incorporating them in materials for the building and public works (BPW) sector. This project also has two other aims, namely: to help cut CO2 emissions through less energy-intensive materials manufacturing processes than those …
As part of the development of its activities, Citius Engineering will invest in the construction of a new building in the Sart-Tilman Scientific Park. This project oversees the construction of a new building whose offices are sized to accommodate 40 people and thus, to reinforce the engineering skills of Sart-Tilman. The workshop will include a …
COMOTEX concerns research on and the industrial development of a biomasspowered external combustion engine for the cogeneration of electricity and heat from a green energy source. The aim is to prove the technical feasibility of an installation that combines a thermal engine and a furnace to generate electricity and heat. The challenge is to get the …
Fairwind’s approach in the context of the COMP2BLADES project is in line with the general context in terms of the need for renewable energy and the trends observed in the wind small turbines market. The European Directive (2009/28 / EC) imposes 13% renewable energy in the Belgian energy mix in 2020. And by 2030, a …
