OUR TECHNOLOGIES AND SOLUTIONS
Our expertise in Processes (dry and wet deposition, compounding, bioprocesses, 3D printing, plasma reforming...), Materials (sol-gel, metallic and inorganic coatings, paints and varnishes, (Bio)polymers) and Smart Devices (biosensors, optoelectronic, thermoelectric, electrochromic devices) is a fertile ground for our strategic axes:
In order to provide state of the art support to the industry, our experts rely on 2 technological platforms. The sintering platform proposes several densification techniques (SPS, Gas Pressure Sintering, HIP, HP…) to address all kind of ceramics oxides, nitrides, borides, carbides... The second platform gathers original rapid manufacturing technologies: selective laser melting, laser cladding, inkjet printing, laser and hydrid milling.
V2i's know-how is based on researches of international repute of the University of Liège in the field of structural dynamics and is continuously improved and updated by massive R&D programs.
As an engineering company specialized in mechanical vibrations, our skills cover:
Siemens Industry Software provides a complete suite of engineering 3D simulation software for loads computation, topology optimization, structural sizing, thermo-mechanical stress analysis of structural components and non-linear structural dynamics analysis of whole machines, made of both metallic and composite materials.
