The Flexcrash project has kicked off on September 2022 with the objective to develop a flexible and hybrid manufacturing technology using aluminium alloys and based on applying surface patterns by additive manufacturing onto preformed parts.
Coordinated by Eurecat, the project has the ambition to break this vicious circle of weight and crash resistance, producing safer, lighter, and circular crash structures with the objective to increase vehicle lightweighting and passenger’s safety. Additionally, the project’s solutions contribute to a more efficient use of resources (raw materials and energy), as well as optimize the materials supply chains, which turns ultimately in a significant cost saving.
The Flexcrash consortium is formed by 10 partners from 5 different European countries providing the necessary range of expertise, competence and operational capacity to achieve the innovative project objectives.
