DERMAP DEsign of components in a critical Raw MAterials Perspective

DERMAP is an in-field and intensive (one-full day) training course about materials selection in a CRMs perspective. The course is addressed to designers, mechanical engineers and professionals involved in materials selection who want to deepen their knowledge about materials selection strategies with particular references to CRMs related issues.

What's happened in 2019?

Within the framework of the DERAMP project in 2019, the persons responsible for the implementation of the project tasks and promotion made trips to conferences of international range. In addition to presenting the main assumptions of the DERMAP project in the form of presentations as well as banners and advertising leaflets, talks with foundries were also held to encourage potential participants to sign up for the training course provided in the project, organized by a team headed by Dr. Marcin Górny, Eng. 

Below is a brief description of the conference and the issues discussed. These are the leading conferences in the field of foundry engineering in Poland. 

In addition, Dr. Marcin Górny went to the International Conference EUROMAT 2019, where, in addition to discussions on the project DERMAP, familiarized himself with the latest trends in our industry.

The meeting of our colleagues at the University of Padova, attended by dr inż. Paweł Żak and dr inż. Michał Szucki is described in a separate report.

The information about the project was constantly updated on the website of the Foundry Department, further leaflets and other advertising materials were printed as needed. Preparations for the training are already completed - among others, the presentations delivered by the authors of the project to participants from the industry were translated into Polish. This activity is also aimed at reaching out to other potential customers from manufacturing companies and making them aware of the importance of critical elements in industry.

XXV International Conference „Współpraca 2019”

XXV International Conference of Slovak, Polish and Czech Foundryman’s SPOLUPRÁCA 2019 was in the High Tatras from 10 to 12 April 2019.
