FLEXCRASH IN A NUTSHELL

Towards a safer, lighter, and circular crash structures production

The FlexCrash project is focused on the development of a flexible and hybrid manufacturing technology to produce tailored adaptive crash-tolerant structures made of green aluminium alloys.   

The project selects vehicle parts and applies surface patterns onto performed parts with the objective to reduce weight, increase safety and optimise crash performance of current and future vehicles.  

FlexCrash solutions are to provide a general improvement of car safety with a reduction of risks and fatalities in crashes.  

DISCOVER THE PROJECT

FLEXCRASH AMBITION

FlexCrash goal is to radically transform the traditional automotive sector and adapt to the extensive agility, versatility and interoperability needs of the upcoming industry.

ALIGNED WITH EUROPEAN NEEDS

Contributing to improve EU automotive industry and societal challenges

More sustainable & lighter vehicles structures

FlexCrash uses green aluminium alloys and lightweight materials proposing processes more respectful for the planet and leading to a more sustainable automotive sector. 

Aligned with European policies

The project contributes to the EC Circular Economy Action PlanFor a cleaner and more competitive Europe, which is part of the key actions of the European Green Deal

Support to meet GHG EU emission targets

The FlexCrash project contributes to the EU emission reduction target of 40% of Green House Gases by 2030 through developing circular, safe, and lightweight sustainable materials.

Smart Crash Design through Hybrid Manufacturing and simulation

Modern vehicles rely more and more on advanced structural components and innovative manufacturing methods to improve safety without adding unnecessary weight. Among these, additive manufacturing, the process of 3D-printing parts layer by layer, has opened new possibilities in car design. What is Hybrid Manufacturing? Hybrid manufacturing combines additive techniques with conventional ones (such as extrusion…
