List of projects approved by the MecaTech Cluster since the end of 2006:
The biggest, potential innovation at Thales Alenia Space Belgium is the material addition technology. This is the purpose of the THERMAM project. Three areas of activity interact in this project: additive manufacturing (3D printing), thermal management and mechanical design of support structures for electronic circuits in a space environment. This project will make it possible …
The THIXOACIER project involves the manufacturing of quasi-finished threedimensional steel parts by thixoforming. The aims? Shaping parts that meet the needs of the automotive, transport, and arms sectors by means of a thixoforming process Developing regional know-how The result? This project has proven the feasibility of producing the thixotropic raw material in the crude casting …
THIXOWAL was set up to achieve the technically and economically viable industrialization of the thixoforming process. The aim is to be present along the entire value chain by making use of casting, forming, simulation, optimization and experimental validation (ULg), design and manufacturing of forming plant, and industrial validation technologies. The THIXOWAL project is a direct …
