The Consortium and Work Packages
The consortium has well-balanced skill sets from 7 different member states (Spain, Germany, Luxembourg,
The Netherlands, Ireland, Italy, and France) and 1 associated country (UK) with a balanced geographical
distribution across Europe, and RTO, HEI, SME and IND being represented in MULTHEM. The consortium
embodies the best state-of-the-art knowledge about multi-materials, joining technologies, design, and AM
for the MULTHEM project. The project is divided into 8 Work-Packages (WP), each with its own tasks,
deliverables and associated milestones. The project management and coordination activities are centred in
WP1. The materials selection, AM production technologies, simulation and modelling of AM processes as well
as the production and characterization of test coupons for proving multi-functionality are focused on
“Material & Production Technologies” in WP2. Adaptation and joining of multi-materials and structures,
simulation and modelling studies of the joining processes as well as the manufacturing and
characterization of test coupons by applying different joining technologies is the core of “Joining
Technologies” in WP3. Sustainability aspects of the technical solutions of the project will be studied in
“LCA, Disassembly & Recyclability” in WP4. Certification requirements, standardization and regulatory
aspects with the exploitation plan for MULTHEM for commercialisation are analysed in “Certification,
Standardization, Regulatory and Exploitation” in WP5. The design optimisation and performance maximization
using the new multi-material approach applied to use cases is centred in “Use cases design” in WP6. The
manufacturing and testing activities required to validate the improved characteristics of the innovative
multi-material approach is centred in “Use cases validation” in WP7. Finally, the communication,
dissemination, training and connection to Horizon Europe and HE ecosystem are the core of “Dissemination,
Communication & Training” in WP8.
