Project title: Additive Manufacturing of Metallic Auxetic Structures and Materials for Lightweight Armour
Acronym: AMALIA
Type of project: International project
Role: Partner
Financing: European Defence Agency EDA
Duration: 20.10.2022 – 19.10.2025
Project manager at FS: prof. dr. Iztok Golobič
Laboratory: Laboratory for Heating Technology LTT
Project description:
The project aims to enhance the performance of ballistic and blast protections using auxetic structures, which become thicker when stretched or thinner when compressed. Making use of specific alloys developed for ballistic applications, this material can be tailored for the additive manufacturing process.
