Journey to AM/3DP adoption

EXPERIMENTING & TESTING + END TO END SOLUTIONS

• AM value chain design and validation

• AM value chain implementation

Join companies in their journey to the adoption of additive

manufacturing and 3d printing by:

• Concentrating resources, capabilities and knowledge to

offer high level competence in the technologies so to

perform experimentation and testing to gain confidence,

benchmarking of AM/3DP technologies, asses and

validate 3D Printing manufacturing capabilities.

• Developing end to end solutions in a Living Lab

environment where to design, explore, redefine new

products in real scenarios, assess their feasibility and

innovative impact before their production.

• Offering incubators and pilot lines to validate

production at an industrial scale.

• Offering validation and certification laboratories to

facilitate the introduction of AM/3DP products into the

market.

• AM value chain design and validation

• AM value chain implementation
