NWO-OTP AMVibe project kick-off meeting

The AMVibe kick-off meeting, funded by the NWO (Dutch Research Council) Open Technology Programme (OTP), was successfully hosted at Engineering and Technology Institute Groningen, University of Groningen, bringing together all consortium partners and end users both on-site and online:

• Kamiel Politiek and Yutao Pei from University of Groningen
• Vahid Yaghoubi and Kunal Masania from Delft University of Technology
• Lars De Groot from Demcon high-tech systems
• Giancarlo Kosova and Emilio Di Lorenzo from Siemens Digital Industries Software
• Yunpeng Zhu and Chinnapat Panwisawas from Queen Mary University of London
• Ziqiang Lang from The University of Sheffield

Special thanks go to Lotte Gerrits, PhD, and Merel Mootzelaar from NWO (Dutch Research Council) for joining the kick-off and sharing valuable input during the discussion.

AMVibe focuses on vibration-based non-destructive testing (NDT) for additively manufactured (AM) parts, aiming to develop reliable testing and monitoring approaches that can better support quality assurance and industrial adoption of AM. During the meeting, the consortium aligned on the project vision, work packages, milestones, and collaboration plan, with constructive discussions on validation needs and practical requirements from the end-user perspective.

The group thanks all partners for their time, contributions, and commitment, and looks forward to the close collaboration and exciting work ahead.
