Smart Structures and Systems

The Smart Structures and Systems Laboratory (S3 Lab) enables the design, modeling, and characterization of multifunctional and integrated structures and systems with advanced performance metrics, based on innovative materials and production processes.  

Horizon Europe: MIMOSA Project

Project Coordinator

Multimaterial airframes based on 3D joints between AM metals and carbon-fiber composites 


The 3-years project involves a team of eight companies and reserach centers. Our target is to support the development of the next generations of aircrafts, which will necessarily follow production criteria with reduced environmental impact and lower need for raw materials.
