The overall objective of ALICE project is to develop an innovative process to abate dramatically the energy used to reuse aluminum scraps, by adopting solid state processes to transform the scraps into new bars and rods, integrated with low energy processes to use such products to create new parts using Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies. AM allows the production of new highly personalized products with complex geometries that could be hardly produced with traditional processes.
The AM used by ALICE will be optimized to have the lowest possible energetic consumption.
