If you are a high-precision component manufacturer dealing with slow certification for complex parts — this project developed DILACERT that streamlines compliance documentation and quality verification. This reduces the time and labor costs needed to approve parts for critical use.
Digital Twin Software for Faster Laser Manufacturing and Automated Part Certification
Imagine being able to test-drive a laser cutting or printing process on a computer before ever touching a piece of metal. This project creates a digital rehearsal tool to stop mistakes and a digital 'stamp of approval' system to cut through red tape. It's like having a flight simulator for factories that also handles the paperwork automatically.
What needed solving
Laser manufacturing of complex parts is slowed down by expensive trial-and-error production and a tedious, manual certification process that increases labor costs.
What was built
Two software tools: DILAFACT for simulating and monitoring laser-material interactions, and DILACERT for automating production data processing and certification documentation.
Who needs this
Who can put this to work
If you are an additive manufacturing specialist dealing with material waste and defects in specialized metals — this project developed DILAFACT that simulates laser-material interactions. It allows you to optimize production and use real-time feedback to avoid defects.
If you are an EV chassis producer dealing with high energy costs and material scrap — this project developed a digital twin platform that optimizes production based on available equipment and environmental factors. This helps you combine quality assurance with sustainability.
Quick answers
What is the cost or pricing model for the software?
Based on available project data, specific pricing is not mentioned, but the project uses an innovative IP plan covering both commercial and Open Access licenses.
Can this be used at an industrial scale?
Yes, the development is grounded in 6 operational production lines and focuses on scalable platforms for laser-based high-precision manufacturing.
How is the intellectual property and licensing handled?
The project implements an innovative IP plan that includes both commercial and Open Access licenses to ensure long-term competitiveness.
Does this help with government or industry regulations?
Yes, DILACERT specifically targets the certification and standardization hurdle, simplifying compliance documentation for complex parts.
How long does it take to integrate these tools into a factory?
Based on available project data, a specific integration timeline is not provided, but the tools are designed as modules to be synthesized into full platforms.
Who built it
The consortium is heavily industry-driven, with 7 industrial partners (54% ratio) and 5 SMEs across 8 countries. This strong commercial presence, combined with 2 universities and 3 research centers, suggests the project is focused on practical market application rather than pure theory.
