The research centre of the Pierrard-Virton School of Engineering offers a wide range of Continuing Education, Applied Research and Services to Society (FoRS).
Within this range of expertise, the FoRS research centre has particularly developed its skills in the disciplines of: modelling, automation, mechanics, robotics, production engineering, energy, life cycle analysis (LCA), computer science, the Internet of Things, data intelligence, machine learning and (cyber) security.
L’objectif du projet DIAMANTS est de faire sauter des verrous technologiques en fabrication additive, en démontrant que, grâce au support de la modélisation, on peut réduire les risques de fabrication, augmenter la productivité, démontrer une capacité de production en série et diminuer les temps de post-traitements, tout en apportant une valeur ajoutée au produit via l’utilisation de nouveaux matériaux haute performance et de l’optimisation du design.
Ce projet vise à développer des formations axées sur les différents aspects de la vie d'un produit aéronautique : la conception dans un cadre réglementaire, la mise en oeuvre (méthodes de production), l'assemblage, le contrôle et la livraison du produit fini.
Ces formations considèrent également la maintenance tout au long de la vie du produit aéronautique.
Ce projet vise à aider les PME wallonnes qui sont pour l'instant dans le secteur aéronautique ou qui souhaitent y entrer à franchir le pas de la certification EN 9100.
Cette certification est une obligation imposée pour l'instant aux sous-traitants de niveau 1 des grands donneurs d'ordre et le sera également, dans un proche avenir, aux sous-traitants d'ordre inférieur.
L'absence de certification pourra à terme constituer un motif de rejet et donc mener à être exclu du marché.
Les grandes étapes de ce projet formation sont :
