Resumen
European materials industry is considered a key enabler for industrial development and the EU has a
historically strategic position in this sector. However, there is a low uptake in European
materials industry for digital technologies. Hereby, it is crucial to provide all stakeholders of
the EU with advanced digital technologies to evolve towards an agile European materials industry
with intelligent enterprises that maximise and integrate the utility of digital materials sciences
knowledge. DiMAT will develop Open Digital Tools with a set of advanced technologies for offering
European SMEs and Mid-Caps an affordable (in terms of cost, implementation and usability) full
modelling, simulation and optimisation system in each stage of the material value chain (design,
processing and manufacturing) for improving quality, sustainability, effectiveness, and
competitiveness of materials. DiMAT will deploy 3 integrated Suites: 1) DiMAT Data and Assessment
Suite: digital technologies for storing, sharing, representing and assessing materials data; 2)
DiMAT DiMAT Modelling and Design Suite: digital technologies for material design, in terms of their
internal structure, properties and performance, in order to predict the material behaviour before
manufacturing; 3) DiMAT Simulation and Optimisation Suite: digital technologies for creating
efficient materials manufacturing simulation processes and determining the behaviour of the
material mechanical characterization models diction. The DiMAT Suites will be demonstrated in 4
Pilots of European designers and producers
of different materials: textile, composite, glass and graphite.
