There is a need to reduce the production cost and manufacturing time of these LEGs. The project aims to study the technical feasibility of manufacturing these LEGs with optimized properties using an innovative method: additive manufacturing via binder jetting coupled with a sintering step. In fact, using this approach would make it possible to design complex shapes conducive to better energy conversion.   <\/p>\n<p>The project coordinator is Y.
