Technology testing and experimentation

From start to finish

Solutions from start to finish

In order to develop “solutions from start to finish”, the centre currently offers the following possibilities:

“Living Lab” to design, redesign, explore, experiment and redefine new products based on additive manufacturing, in real life scenarios:
Design, redesign, engineering and product development until its industrialization with AM / 3DP.
Evaluate its feasibility and impact of innovation potential before its production.
Application of heat treatments and surface finishes – polishes, coatings… – to obtain the appearance and behaviour of the final product.
Testing and certification of the product manufactured using AM / 3DP.

Where to study and design digital manufacturing plants based on AM / 3DP:

Optimized design and distribution of industrial plant to improve productivity and efficiency.

Objectives

In order to evaluate the potential implementation of additive manufacturing technologies, mechanisms are established to initiate, drive, incubate and accelerate new business models based on AM/3DP with different services, depending on whether it is starting business or if, on the contrary, we are in the process of accelerating the adoption of AM solutions of an already existing company.

Services

The services offered to new companies are as follows:

Technological evaluation
Identification of emergent technologies and adoption acceleration
Market research
Commercial feasibility studies
Identification of market routes
Definition and evaluation of business models
Financing
Identification of partners and collaborators
IP protection
IP licensing
Sales strategies

Services for processes acceleration

The services offered for the process of acceleration of AM solutions adoption to an already existing company are as follows:

Assessing the maturity level of the company for AM/3DP adoption.
Analysis of adoption potential.
Identification and resolution of the technical challenges that allow large-scale production.
Development of operating procedures, specifications and standards.
Design and execution strategy
Simulation and validation of AM integration at the factory level.
