TROY, MI, May 19, 2025 – Altair has announced its involvement in the Metallic Additive Manufacturing for High Performances (MAM4HP) research program, part of Italy’s National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR) and funded by the European Union through NextGenerationEU resources. The project brings together leading Italian companies to develop additive manufacturing technologies.
“Altair is proud to support MAM4HP and help advance Italy’s additive manufacturing capabilities,” said Stefano Deiana, vice president, Spain, France and Italy, Altair. “By combining our simulation and optimization technologies with the ingenuity of other MAM4HP partners, we’re accelerating innovation and enabling the next generation of components.”
Spanning over 18 months, the MAM4HP project is structured in two phases. The first phase focuses on the redesign and structural optimization of mechanical components to ensure they’re suitable for additive manufacturing. The second phase will focus on optimizing printing parameters and post-production processes.
As part of the program, the Altair HyperWorks design and simulation platform will speed up redesign work, helping designers create solutions ready for manufacturing. Altair’s tools will also analyze specific shapes to optimize the sizing of critical artifacts.
Other MAM4HP partners, including Leonardo, Ducati, Bonfiglioli, Poggipolini, and Jumo Design, have proposed use cases to redesign components for additive manufacturing by a design-for-additive-manufacturing approach.
