ROLIAC

Kort Intro

ROBUST AND LIGHT AM COMPONENTS FOR MILITARY SYSTEMS (ROLIAC) addresses the topic on “New materials and technologies for additive manufacturing defence applications” by developing and showcasing the potential within additive Manufacturing for Lightweight Parts. The ROLIAC consortium is a strong and experienced partnership comprising a wide range of partners from many EU countries and with a strong support from several Ministries of Defence (MODs). The ROLIAC consortium has an excellent technical base within AM and materials science, as well as military grade manufacturing.

ROLIAC will enable design and manufacture of lightweight military grade parts with novel materials and take full advantage of the key benefits offered by AM for the EU defence sector.
ROLIAC has identified three key benefits that AM may bring to the defence sector:

1. Robust, resilient, and secure supply chains.
2. Design of both lightweight and high performing components.
3. The use of novel materials for improved mechanical properties.
