MULTHEM

MULTHEM aims to develop a reliable and validated Additively Manufactured (AM) CFC process to satisfy light-weight manufacturing and improved heat transfer performance for efficient cooling, and product performance through different material combinations. This innovation enables the creation of dual-function components, such as EV battery housings, drone motor housings, and aircraft radioaltemeter housings offering weight reduction while maintaining the structural strength and enhances cooling enabled by advanced design optimisation improving the product life cycle. This approach will satisfy the requirements of sustainable manufacturing and improves cost effectiveness by reducing weight, facilitated by the combinations of designs achievable only through AM, and CFC-metal structures. These combinations make the component lighter and stronger than aluminium or steel and improves the recyclability and re-usability of materials.
