ENCOMPASS project has successfully reached its end, with the final review meeting between all partners and the EC!

In these COVID times, we kept our safety distance and met on-line.
It went surprisingly well, no lost connections, no frozen videos – just as we were all together in a room! The feedback from our Project Officer and the reviewers was very positive.
The results presented are very promising for the Additive Manufacturing sector!

We are sure we will have the opportunity to meet each other soon!

From the 28th to the 30th of January, a training and evaluation session of the Design Interrogation Tool (DIT) for Additive Manufacturing, took place in Manufacturing The Manufacturing Technology Center (MTC) facilities.

EWF and FCA/CRF participated in this session. There was an exchange of views regarding the layout and features of the tool.

The project is reaching its end and DIT is almost finished. It will have a huge impact helping Designers to optimize their Designs for Powder Bed Fusion!

ENCOMPASS is currently at FORMNEXT, in Frankfurt Germany! The ENCOMPASS project which has an Integrated Design Decision Support (IDDS) system is optimising AM post processing, enabling an average of 42% reduction in time from “design to piece”.

Come visit us at booth 11.0-B71 until this Friday the 22nd and feel free to ask us any questions regarding this system! #manufacturing #3dprinting #encompass #postprocessing #formnext2019

#EWF presented today (22/05) #Encompass at Factories of the Future Community Days, that are taking place in Brussels.
The two-day event, organized by EFFRA, will include brokerage sessions for the upcoming FoF 2020 and parallel sessions focussing on the project results, demonstrators and their impact, covering a broad spectrum of technologies and applications.

#ENCOMPASS consortium meeting is taking place at MTC in Coventry, the UK where the partners are discussing aspects related to the exploitation of the project results.

#ENCOMPASS will improve the productivity of the laser powder bed fusion.

ENCOMPASS consortium has joined in November 2018 for its semester meeting. A lot is going on now, as all pieces of software are almost fully developed, it is integration work that is leading the path. All partners have been represented during the meeting, and a lot of fruitful discussions took place. Next step will be the validation of use cases. As usual, exploitation and dissemination were not forgotten – with the end of the project approaching the route to market is a key driver for the finalisation of the business plan.

ENCOMPASS was present at the biggest Additive Manufacturing fair in Europe – FORMNEXT – (13th to 16th November) in Frankfurt, Germany. All the big players were represented and it was a big opportunity to capture interest in the project results. A joint workshop to “Support the uptake of AM in companies” with another EU funded project, AMable, took place in the fair.

During 14th and 15th of May, the ENCOMPASS consortium had its mid-term project meeting and its review meeting with representatives from European Commission.

EWF has hosted ENCOMPASS’ 12th-month meeting on the 16th and 17th November, which took place at the TagusPark Congress Centre in Oeiras, Portugal. ENCOMPASS project aims to create an Integrated Design Decision Support - IDDS system for the whole manufacturing chain for a laser powder bed fusion - L-PBF process.

The ENCOMPASS project’ Consortium will gather in the 12th month meeting on 16th and 17th of November, 2017 at Porto Salvo, Oeiras, Portugal. The meeting will be hosted by EWF and besides the meeting, the partnership will have the opportunity to attend the AM Motion workshop that gathers other additive manufacturing European projects. This event is part of the EWF’s 25th Anniversary celebrations

On March 15th 2017 the partners involved in the ENCOMPASS project gathered together for the 6th month meeting to discuss about the progress of the Horizon2020 project.
