Making Europe the first digitally led circular, climate-neutral and sustainable economy needs major changes across
manufacturing: efficiencies in energy and material consumption, new solutions to problems in certification and
standardisation, and upskilling of the European workforce. DILAPRO contributes to all of these, driving decarbonisation
and the twin Green and Digital Transitions via two ground-breaking software tools for laser-based production of complex
products. DILAFACT (Digital Laser Factory) is a sustainable and scalable platform for laser process planning via Digital
Twins of laser-material interactions, including additive, subtractive, and thermal processes. DILACERT (Digital Laser
Certification) tackles a major hurdle in rapidly-developing laser and additive manufacturing technologies: certification
and standardisation. In the short DILACERT enables end users to easily process production data for certification; in
the long term it paves the way for remote semiautomated digital certification of produced parts, a major paradigm shift
in complex part production. DILAPRO grounds its development in specific materials (316L, IN718, IN625) and laser
technologies (PBF-LB, DED-LB, and Laser Texturing) as deployed on 6 operational production lines owned by project
partners. These will be developed as distinct modules during the first half of the project, and synthesised into DILAFACT
and DILACERT in the project’s second half. To ensure the competitiveness and sustainability of European manufacturing
in the long term, other developers and end-users will be able to contribute modules to both software, kick-started by
DILAPRO’s living communities and innovative IP plan covering both commercial and OA licenses. DILAPRO offers
two scalable, sustainability-focused solutions for the European laser-based, high-precision manufacturing industry, and
will thus not simply develop a single one-off product, but a resilient force-multiplier for the long term.
