Enabling Technologies for the Implementation of Artificial Intelligence in the Additive Manufacturing Value Chain of New Metal Alloys
PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND OBJECTIVES
The METALIA project (“Enabling Technologies for the Implementation of Artificial Intelligence in the Additive Manufacturing Value Chain of New Metal Alloys”) Its general objective is to strengthen the capacities of the Spanish industrial fabric through implementation of artificial intelligence tools (IA), for the optimization of the additive manufacturing (AM) value chain of new metal materials: design, manufacturing, post-processing and life cycle analysis; as well as the validation of the AI tools developed in prototypes from different industrial sectors, mainly in industrial biotechnology applications, aeronautical, space, and industrial sectors, among others, increasing the industrialization possibilities of additive manufacturing thanks to automated quality control, improved productivity, and the expansion of materials usable by the technology, contributing to boosting the competitiveness of Spanish industry.
Furthermore, the four-year TransMisiones 2023 initiative project aims to foster effective collaboration between the companies that make up the CDTI group and the research centers of the AEI group, fostering an environment conducive to the generation of scientific results at advanced levels of technological maturity thanks to a successful transfer between scientific research and technological development.

The project is part of the call for proposals for the “science and innovation missions” program within the framework of the Transmissions of the Year 2023 initiative, An action carried out in collaboration between the CDTI (Spanish Institute of Technology and Innovation) and the State Research Agency (AEI), which coordinates funding for groups of research and knowledge dissemination organizations and business groups that collaborate to jointly develop coordinated R&D activities that address the challenges identified in the thematic priorities (Missions) defined in the call for proposals. This project is funded by the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities, the State Research Agency, and the E.P.E. Center for Technological Development and Innovation (CDTI).
