Almost 3 years of R&D work within the Joint Laboratory of Marine Technology went into the development of the metal 3D printing process by which this propeller was produced.

Within the scope of its national Additive Manufacturing project, the SCNF (Rolling Stock Engineering division) called upon Centrale Nantes’s expertise to study the feasibility of producing certain components. The production of a pivot, an interconnecting part, by additive manufacturing is an achievement that opens up new avenues for the design of metallic components.

With the acquisition of Nextflow Software, the German group Siemens, already a market leader in automation and digitalization, is stepping up its capabilities in numerical simulation.

Centrale Nantes is looking for a Early-Stage-Researcher for the FLOAWER (FLOAting Wind Energy netwoRk) project. Find here the complete offer.
