Where to look when organisations cannot find the expertise they need to complete a 3D printing project within their existing network? ‘3DP PAN EU Gateway’ is there to guide them to the right partner.

So called “3D printing Facility Centers” give access to their equipment and services to help organisations in developing, testing, and validating new or improved 3D printing-based products and services. The complete offer by more than 300 Facility Centers throughout Europe can be found on the ‘3DP PAN EU’ portal, which now offers the same service to create an account and a detailed organization profile to each player in the 3D printing value chain. Software, service, technology or material suppliers, machinery or equipment manufacturers, start-ups or OEMs with activities involving 3D printing expertise and in need of additional partners can now complete an organisation’s profile on 3DP PAN EU Gateway and express their needs, or to showcase the expertise they can offer others. Find and be found!

The 3D Pan EU Gateway developed by the VI 3DP Pilot is built upon a renewed and upgraded version of the search engine and matchmaking tool that was developed in the context of the 3DP PAN EU project, managed by key VI 3DP partners and supported by the European Commission.
