Amaia Alberdi, PhD
Head of Manufacturing processes
We develop manufacturing technologies based on discrete processes using various techniques: subtractive (machining), additive manufacturing, hot and cold forming, and bonding technologies for producing parts and components.
We work on developing and optimising manufacturing technologies, together with the equipment and tools required, and on process chains and hybridisation.
These key technologies include:
- Contactless removal technologies: machining, water-jet cutting and laser cutting.
- Additive manufacturing technologies: WAAM, LMD, FDM, binder jetting and thermal spraying.
- Bonding technologies: mechanical joints, advanced welding, adhesive joints and laser technology, among others
- Hot and cold forming: forging, stamping, FSW and AISF
