The partners in SCENE-B consists of four research institutes and two technology companies, each contributing with their field of expertise
PARTNERS
SINTEF AS
SINTEF (Stiftelsen for industriell og teknisk forskning) founded in 1950, is one of Europe’s largest research organizations, with over 2000 employees from more than 75 different countries. Since its establishment, SINTEF has maintaned a close partnership with Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). The organization specializes in technology, medicine and social sciences. Each year, SINTEF conducts thousands of projects, contributing innovative solutions and research. It is structured into six institutes, each focusing on specific research fields. For this project, the three institutes that will participate are SINTEF Manufacuring, SINTEF Community and SINTEF Digital.
SINTEF MANUFACTURING
SINTEF Manufacturing’s specializes in materials technology, production technology and industrial ecosystems. The main focus is manufacturing from fundamental research to industrialization. Currently, SINTEF Manufacturing consist of more than 94 employees. In this project, SINTEF Manufacturing will be coordinating, as well as leading multiple work packages.
SINTEF COMMUNITY
SINTEF Community conducts research on cementitious materials design and testing, durability, structural engineering and numerical simulations with FEM, building physics and environmental analysis, cement and concrete technology, construction processes, Building Information Modelling and technical approvals.
SINTEF DIGITAL
SINTEF Digital carries out research in geometric modelling and representation, focussing on machine learning approaches towards building a digital twin of the additive manufacturing process.
WARSAW UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY
The Warsaw University of Technology (WUT), established in 1915, is a leading public technical university in Poland - recognized as one of the largest and highest-rated technical institutions in Central/Eastern Europe. WUT is a proud member of ENHANCE - The European Universities of Technology Alliance and an official partner of the New European Bauhaus, contributing to innovative and sustainable architectural and urban design solutions.
FACULTY OF ARCHITECTURE
The Faculty of Architecture is one of WUT's oldest and most distinguished academic units, established in 1915 as the first modern higher school of architecture in Poland. The faculty is home to approximately 1,200 students and 140 academic staff, including 15 professors. Renowned for its quality in education and research in architecture and urban planning, the faculty holds memberships in several professional associations, including the EAAE, ECAADE, AESOP, and American organizations ACSA and ACADIA. Two departments of Faculty of Architecture WUT described below participate in the SCENE B project.
COMPUTER-AIDED ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN STUDIO
The Computer-Aided Architectural Design Studio (CAAD) promotes the practical application of contemporary architecture and urban planning tools.
DEPARTMENT OF ARCHITECTURE OF LIVING ENVIRONMENT
This department is dedicated to the design and study of human living systems, aiming to enhance residential conditions through innovative architectural and technological solutions.
The department's approach blends research-driven education with practical design, emphasizing harmony between human needs, spatial development, and technological advancements.
MECHATRONICS INNOVATION LAB
Mechatronics Innovation Lab (MIL) is a non-profit innovation lab with the ambition of helping companies and organizations utilize new technology with the objective to support the growth, increase efficiency, and ensure resilience in local, Norwegian, and European manufacturing industries. MIL specializes in the fields of additive manufacturing and robotics and works with all industries that are interested in learning and prototying using AM-technology. MIL is a neutral competence and technology lab available for industry and academia to make production greener, increase resilience and create local jobs.
In SCENE-B, MIL will be the primary partner for Digital Fabrication and in this function also lead WP4 – Digital Fabrication.
HYPERION ROBOTICS
By combining 3D printing technology with low-carbon concrete, Hyperion Robotics offers a fully integrated, highly adaptable concrete construction automation solution to save time, costs and carbon emissions. Hyperion 3D printing Micro-Factories are the combination of industrial robots with our proprietary hardware and software. We offer an end-to-end solution (hardware + software + materials) to automatically produce optimized reinforced concrete structures for construction projects. From traditional cement-based concrete to low-carbon materials made from waste stream products , we can offer our clients a more efficient and environmentally-friendly building process either off-site or right on your construction site.
Our main areas of application are industrial and utility infrastructure projects, specifically energy and utilities, mining infrastructure and underwater structures.
