ISS (Safe and Sustainable Innovation) & LFAN (Additive Manufacturing & Digital Laboratory)

CEA, Department of Technology of new Materials, Grenoble, France


The ISS team provides safety and sustainability assessment for technologies and products to stimulate :

  • eco-design : choosing the best performing option from an environmental, social and economic standpoint

  • safety : prevention of hazards and risks in products The team also contributes to and is informed of methodological developments surrounding life cycle assessment.

The LFAN possess strong skills in additive manufacturing, from advanced conception to powder metallurgy, including the digital tools needed (digital twins, data science). The Poudr'Innov 2.0 platform has 3D printing and additive manufacturing semi-industrial and industrial machinery.

  • D - AM Feasibility and pre-analytics
    R - Simulation and predictive approach
    B - Innovation and industrial partnership
    E - Eco-innovation networks and start-ups support
    S - Sustainability & Safety assessment
    T - Technical platform and machinery for additive manufacturing

  • Sustainability Assessment (environmental, economic and social) through quantification of a product's impact, and identification of the main hotspots, as well as recommendations to address them. This kind of service can help companies steer development trajectory for its products, as well as promoting the environmental and social benefits it can bring.
