| Abstract | Approximate 30% of the emissions of e-vehicles comes from the manufacturing processes, due to un-optimised material utilisation, low process efficiency, product defects and waste.Current state-of-the-art identifies laser material processing technologies the heart of e-vehicles manufacturing. Advances in laser technologies and new generation scanning optics in fuel cell and battery manufacturing have the potential to offer enhanced utilisation of materials, improved process efficiency and product quality, allowing significant reduction in CO2 equivalent.Lasers4NetZero will establish an innovative training programme that aims at coaching a new generation of creative, entrepreneurial and innovative doctoral candidates (PhDs) focused on laser material processing, artificial intelligence for quality control, advanced process simulation and predictive lifecycle and sustainability analysis for e-vehicles manufacturing. This novel programme will contain both scientific and transferable training activities and will benefit from training across the network (e.g. secondments). In total, 10 PhDs will be enrolled, developing individual research projects within the project. Individual PhD projects will integrate novel methods and approaches for laser material processing (cutting and welding) aided by laser beam shaping and ultra-fast scanning technologies with the ultimate goal to enhance utilisation of materials, improve process efficiency and product quality and reducedefects and waste. The consortium involves 6 Academic partners and 8 Industrial partners guaranteeing that final solutions will be close to the market. The close cooperation among multidisciplinary partners will ensure knowledge transfer to cross the valley-of-death between research and implementation. To maximise impact, two demonstrators (fuel cells and battery systems) will be developed in conjunction with the Industrial partners | |
