EWF - European Welding Federation

The EWF Training, Qualification and Certification System serves the worldwide welding industry.

The European Federation for Welding, Joining and Cutting (EWF) is an organization dedicated to education, training, qualification and certification in the field of welding and related technologies.): http://www.ewf.be/ We are an international non-profit umbrella association, with 28 European Member countries and 2 Observer Members from outside Europe, representing the national welding societies. D

eveloping the only INTERNATIONAL SYSTEM FOR TRAINING, QUALIFICATION AND CERTIFICATION of both welding personnel and companies using welding, made us the pioneer organization responding to one of the most demanding market need: qualified personnel. The first harmonized system embracing all the European countries for the qualification of personnel for a wide range of levels in welding, related technologies and inspection. On the European level, it can be used through the EWF members, while at the international level it can be used through the IIW-IAB members.

📅With the 𝗫𝗩𝗜𝗜𝗜 S2P Conference now concluded, EWF - European Welding Federation is pleased to share that the Joint FLASH- DILAPRO Project Workshop, 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗱𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗳𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗶𝗴𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝘄𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗧𝗼𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗦𝘆𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗺𝘀, was a successful moment of exchange on advanced manufacturing, creating space for a broad range of views and perspectives on the topics discussed.💡

By bringing together the complementary approaches of FLASH - Flexible Laser-based manufacturing through precision photon distribution and DILAPRO Project, the workshop highlighted the value of project synergies in addressing industrial challenges from different but connected angles. While 𝗙𝗟𝗔𝗦𝗛 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗷𝗲𝗰𝘁, presented by Gaetano Patrimia (Altform) contributed perspectives linked to laser technologies and next-generation manufacturing approaches, DILAPRO Project, presented by Ana Queirós (EWF), reinforced the role of digitalisation and digital twins in supporting smarter and more connected production environments.

The 𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 was structured around three main topics: “Integrating In Situ Inspection into Non-Destructive Testing Protocols for Optimised Advanced Manufacturing Outcomes,” presented by Bernard Revaz (AMiquam); “Beyond Conventional Machining: Laser Technologies,” explored by Gaetano Patrimia (AltForm | formerly Prima Additive by Sodick); and “Integrating Digital Twins into Advanced Laser Manufacturing,” addressed by Riccardo Tonello (Danish Technological Institute).

The 𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗰𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 further strengthened the session by opening space for key questions, including:
• Can in-situ inspection during laser tool repair reduce or replace traditional post-process NDT for safety-critical structural components?
• How can sensor data be used to adjust process parameters and prevent porosity before a part cools?
• How can NDT protocols help mitigate residual stresses in die casting tools and final products?
• How accurately can a digital twin simulate the thermal and residual stresses introduced by both die casting and laser repair processes?
• What are the main barriers preventing traditional casting environments from adopting digital twin workflows - data collection, cost, or skills?

👏We would also like to extend a special thank you to the organisation, and in particular to Ahmed Rassili (PhD) (𝗖𝗥𝗠 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽), the Scientific Committee and the Organising Committee, for making this valuable exchange possible.
