Destination moon with additive manufacturing using lunar dust

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.

Decadom: solutions for monitoring manufacturing defects

IMT Mines Albi and its corporate partner Diota launched the “Inspection 4.0” joint laboratory in 2016 to detect and analyze part manufacturing defects. In 2020, the Decadom project was launched. This initiative has developed inspection solutions based on the use of a scanner hand-held by an operator or mounted on a robot to investigate defects […]

Could additive manufacturing be the future of the plastics industry?

There has been a significant revolution in the world of materials as 3D printing has proved its potential for innovation. Now it must be put into practice. While 3D printers are increasingly present in prototyping workshops, they have been slow to replace the processes traditionally used in the plastics industry. This is because these technologies […]

Additive manufacturing, a process for the industry of the future

As a major component of the Industry of the Future project, additive manufacturing — or 3D printing — is leading to ever-increasing research on materials. Researchers at Mines Douai seized on the opportunity to explore this line of research a little over two years ago. Today, the many requests the school has received for research […]

Electric aviation taking off with DISC-AER

Designing electric aircraft to be light, energy-efficient and even sustainable? This is what Mines Saint-Étienne and the start-up EENUEE aim to do, through the LabCom DISC-AER joint laboratory, with the development of a new-generation aircraft to facilitate interregional travel. Thanks to an innovative architecture and new generation thermoplastic composites, this project is completely reinventing aircraft design, production and maintenance.

Towards a moral code in reindustrialization

Reindustrialization is a major issue in France, that requires industrial models to be redesigned so that they are more ethical, sustainable and locally rooted. What are the challenges to face in this transition in terms of responsibility, the impact of digital technology and the role of local authorities? Pierre-Antoine Chardel, Professor of Social Sciences and Ethics at IMT Business School, sheds light on this topic.

Greenhouse gases: Mirega sets its sights on

Invisible leaks, massive emissions: measuring greenhouse gases in the field remains a challenge. Mirega, a young start-up backed by high-level optical expertise, is developing a miniature infrared sensor designed to go where other instruments cannot. This technology is designed to meet growing demands in terms of detection, mobility, and climate.

Renardo lays its cards on the table in embedded electronics

Developing an embedded electronic solution in a matter of weeks rather than years: that’s the challenge taken up by Renardo, a young start-up incubated at IMT Atlantique. Born out of the industrial and educational experience of its two founders, the start-up offers a modular ecosystem combining hardware and software. The aim is to increase responsiveness and democratize electronic innovation, while meeting industry requirements.
