IMT Atlantique has developed expertise in parallel photoplotting over many years. The school has therefore taken a leading role in the European FABulous project that will use this method to design functional 3D micro and nano-structures. These high-performance optical and photonic microstructures have applications ranging from the automotive industry to biological cell culture.
Éric Guibal, a chemical engineering researcher at IMT Mines Alès, works on the use of biomass and biopolymers for metal recovery. He has received national and international recognition for his scientific contributions, which include numerous publications. He also dedicated part of his career to developing an international scientific collaboration network in Latin America and Egypt.
Additive manufacturing, also known as 3D printing, has multiple applications in various sectors including aeronautics, the automotive industry, healthcare, and the construction industry. Many new developments are underway to optimize the performance of this process. Patricia Krawczak, a Materials and Process researcher at IMT Nord Europe, explains everything you need to know about additive manufacturing.
Researchers from IMT Mines Alès have developed an innovative, ecological and biodegradable material: AlgiFoam. The production methods based on expanded biopolymer beads have brought it closer to meeting industrial requirements and offer greater shaping possibilities. This project is rapidly expanding and will soon give rise to a start-up. Here is a closer look at how this exploratory concept traveled from the lab to luxury display cases.
The European BAYFLEX project aims to develop flexible, intelligent sensors capable of continuously collecting and processing biological signals before their on-chip classification. This ambitious project adds value by using “green” organic technologies, which require less energy to manufacture and use.
3D printing objects using lunar material is no longer science fiction. To facilitate the establishment of a base on the Moon, researchers at IMT Mines Albi are seriously examining this possibility. In the Institut Clément Ader (ICA) laboratories, they are striving to implement an additive manufacturing process using a terrestrial rock with similar properties to lunar dust. Their aim is to improve the autonomy of the Moon’s first inhabitants.
Surgical masks were widely used during the Covid-19 pandemic. To assess their effectiveness in real time, scientists at Mines Saint-Étienne have developed a smart mask, a device that collects data on the humidity of the mask and the wearer’s respiration. Moisture retention is often considered a factor that reduces mask filtration. For example, the WHO […]
To slow the spread of fire, compounds called flame retardants are often used to treat materials to give them fire resistant properties. The problem is that some of these additives can be harmful for humans and polluting for the environment. To solve this problem, research focuses on the production of biobased materials designed to meet […]
Traditional pneumatic and hydraulic actuators are used in all sectors of industry, but they have their limits in terms of energy consumption. Eclore Actuators, a start-up incubated at IMT Atlantique, has redesigned the component using a new folding process developed in-house. Tens or even hundreds of pneumatic actuators are used in most manufacturing machines to […]
3D printing is a manufacturing process used for both consumer and industrial applications in the aeronautics, automotive, rail and medical industries. The Shoryuken project being developed at IMT Nord Europe aims to improve the mechanical performance of the objects printed using plastic and composite materials. To accomplish this, it combines 3D printing with laser welding […]
