Both initiatives focus on Additive Manufacturing (AM) to revolutionize the defence industry by applying advanced manufacturing and digital technologies that have yet to be fully utilized in defence applications. Furthermore, their aim is to support European defence autonomy by reducing reliance on external sources and strengthening Europe\u2019s independent defence capabilities, while optimizing resources and reducing logistical costs. Despite these shared goals, each project offers a unique approach and distinct contributions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">DISCMAM aims \u201c<i>to develop solutions for on-site AM of metallic parts, encompassing both repair and spare parts manufacturing operations. The solutions will be designed in a manner that facilitates ease of use for operators in military environment and deployable scenarios, while ensuring secure communication pathways<\/i>\u201d, explained Juan Carlos Pereira, coordinator of the initiative. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\"><span style=\"color: var( --e-global-color-text );font-size: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-size );font-style: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-style );font-weight: var( --e-global-typography-text-font-weight );letter-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-text-letter-spacing );text-transform: var( --e-global-typography-text-text-transform );word-spacing: var( --e-global-typography-text-word-spacing );background-color: var( --e-global-color-a265f0e )\">In contrast, ROLIAC investigates the design and manufacture of lightweight, high-performance military components using novel materials and additive manufacturing techniques.

These projects bring together international consortia from various EU countries, supported by several Ministries of Defence, underscoring a unified effort to boost the region&#8217;s defence ecosystem.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">A key aspect is the shared partnership among the two project\u2019s consortiums, which facilitates a robust knowledge base that significantly benefits the development and implementation of both projects. Among the prominent partners are Lortek (Spain), Danish Technological Institute (Denmark), CenSec (Denmark), and Eindhoven University of Technology (Netherlands). <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The active involvement of project partners ensures smooth cooperation within European initiatives, setting the stage for future cross-border business ventures. Crucially, the participation of SMEs, industrial partners, mid-sized companies, defence clusters, and research and technology organizations (RTOs) are essential for establishing horizontal collaborations, thus providing access to new markets and potential customers.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p><p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">SMEs, in particular, hold a pivotal role in both initiatives, contributing to all phases of development and innovation.

As Anders B\u00e6k Hjermitslev explained, \u201c<i>With ROLIAC, we strive to unlock the potential of additive manufacturing for the defence sector. This technology has the potential to be a game-changer, offering not only robust and resilient supply chains but also the ability to design ultra-lightweight, high-performance components and leverage novel materials that redefine mechanical capabilities<\/i>\u201d. In this sense, DISCMAM seeks to transform the capabilities of deployed defence forces through innovative technologies, establishing a new business model for remote-assisted on-site maintenance operations.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p><p><span lang=\"EN-GB\">The joint efforts between these initiatives underscore the commitment to advancing Europe\u2019s defence capabilities while fostering research and innovation, increasing autonomy, enhancing supply chain resilience, and promoting environmental sustainability in defence operations. Their collective impact will ensure that Europe not only addresses current challenges in defence but also prepares for future threats in a rapidly evolving sector.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8b43849 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"8b43849\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MEDIA 22-08-03 CenSec receives funding from European Defence Fund to project ROLIAC 22-08-16 Seneste fra Europas st\u00f8rste forsvarsmesse 22-08-23 Innovation og forsvarsomr\u00e5det \u2013 rapport fra EUROSATORY 22-11-04 Robust and Light AM Components for Military Systems 24-02-22 St\u00e6rkere, lettere, hurtigere &#8211; ogs\u00e5 i Forsvarsindustrien press releases DISCMAM and ROLIAC: Pionering the future of defence through additive [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_header_footer","meta":{"om_disable_all_campaigns":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_uf_show_specific_survey":0,"_uf_disable_surveys":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-549","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/roliac.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/549","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/roliac.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/roliac.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roliac.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roliac.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=549"}],"version-history":[{"count":28,"href":"https:\/\/roliac.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/549\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":728,"href":"https:\/\/roliac.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/549\/revisions\/728"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/roliac.eu\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=549"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
