Reduce the environmental impact of foundries by reducing the amount of sand waste using machine learning.
This project stands as a pioneering endeavour to digitally transform the casting process in foundries, by integrating empirical measurements, numerical modelling, and machine learning within sand reclamation processes.
Currently, there is lack of scientific understanding and expertise amongst foundries to discern how different recycling routes and sand molding process parameters impact the casting quality. The project aims to introduce a machine learning sand reclamation model to assist foundries in optimizing process parameters, better manage their sand recycling process, optimize their material consumption, and decrease the amount of cast defects.
Through the cooperation between the partners within this project results from basic research and applied research can be quickly implemented to the sand system of the industry.
Urinary incontinence is a common problem that affects everyone, ranging from young women who have recently given birth to men who have undergone prostate surgery. Amongst people over the age of 70, almost half of everyone, both women and men, suffer from involuntary urine leakage.

A large number of building boards are used in both construction and furniture manufacturing. They are usually made of sawdust with a formaldehyde-based adhesive as a binder. However, they have some problems, including the fact that shavings absorb moisture and that formaldehyde is both allergenic and potentially carcinogenic. The LigniGC project aims to develop a better alternative.
