Our approach
Transforming Manufacturing Through Research and Innovation
RESCu-M2’s research addresses two Grand Challenges:
GC1
Radically transform the sustainable use of critical materials
Goals:
➙ 75% critical component reuse
➙ 20% reduction in critical material use
➙ 50% increase in component reclaim
➙ 20% reduction in critical material use
➙ 50% increase in component reclaim
GC2
Increase productivity of Re-X processes to match or exceed traditional manufacturing
Goal:
➙ 10x productivity improvement
Core Research Objectives
O1
Establish a circular manufacturing ecosystem
O2
Develop high-efficiency, smart Re-X processes
O3
Build robust, adaptive smart systems
O4
Support circular design from the start
