Research areas description
FACMO 2 is a 5-year (2023-2028) collaborative program between six professors (led by Professor Daniel Therriault) of Polytechnique Montreal and two industrial partners, Safran Group and Dyze Design, financially supported by the industrial partners, NSERC (Alliance Program) and Prima-Québec (R25). FAMCO 2 consists of 4 main objectives which are related to the advanced additive manufacturing of carbon fiber-reinforced high-temperature resistant thermoplastics or epoxy-based abradable materials and the development of simulation tools for predicting fracture behavior of composites manufactured by additive manufacturing.
