MATERIALS DEVELOPMENT AND MANUFACTURING TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM
ENP Constantine
Created by interministerial order of August 31, 2019 setting a joint research service within the Ecole Nationale Polytechnique de Constantine – Malek Bennabi, the technology platform with eight (08) partner institutions is composed of three (03) sections: “Development” section, “Manufacturing” section and “Analysis, Evaluation and Maintenance” section.
Partner Institutions

The Three (03) Sections of the Technological Platform

Section of elaboration of materials is dedicated
- to develop high-performance metallic materials,
- to develop high-performance ceramic materials,
- to develop high-performance composite materials,

Prototype manufacturing section is dedicated
- to manufacture metal prototypes,
- to manufacture ceramic prototypes,
- to manufacture composite prototypes,

Analysis, Evaluation and Maintenance section is dedicated
- to evaluate and control the materials used in the manufacture of prototypes,
- to make tests on the manufactured prototypes,
- to ensure the maintenance and repair of the equipment.
