High‑Performance Production through 3D Printing

Demo Cases

Generally, there is a lack of awareness (among SMEs, especially late adopters but not only) on the possible added value/benefit of additive manufacturing compared to traditional/well-known techniques. The project aims to create a “One Minute Guide” , to be integrated in the 3DPanEU Platform, to support SME’s in their search for applications. The “Guide” will not provide answers, but will link SME’s to websites, people, institutes where answers might be found.

Participating regions

Lombardia – South-Netherlands – East and North Finland – East Netherlands – Emilia-Romagna -Flanders – Lower Austria (Niederösterreich) – Saxony – South-Netherlands – Autonomous Province of Trento / Trentino – Upper Austria (Oberösterreich) – Catalunya – Slovenia

Demo Cases

The objective is to make a one-stop-shop offering SMEs with relevant solutions to test and validate 3D Printing-based solutions for large parts.

Participating regions

Aragon – Asturias – South-Netherlands – Wallonia – Baden – Württemberg – Emilia-Romagna
Lombardia – Norte – North Rhine-Westphalia – Upper Austria (Oberösterreich) – Slovenia

Demo Cases

Increase the use of Additive Manufacturing in Maintenance, by creating a catalogue/toolbox for maintenance we want to show how AM can contribute to become more flexible, quicker, cost effective, lower stocklevels, reduce CO2 footprint.

Participating regions

Aragon – East Netherlands – Gävleborg – Małopolska – South-Netherlands – Norte – South – Netherlands – Slovenia – Upper Austria (Oberösterreich) – Catalunya

Demo Cases

The objective of the demo case is to explore new possibilities for the transition in the building and construction sector to digitization, robotization. The demo case focuses on deploying 3D Printed solutions in the construction sector in order to redirect the focus from object oriented to process-oriented industry. In this project, a particular attention is devoted to (among others); virtual design and testing, the digital twins/Moch-ups concepts, the investigations of various solutions for design and prototyping to be then taken up by possible end-users, sensors, ‘building information management’, etc.

Participating regions

Aragon – Asturias – Upper Austria (Oberösterreich) – East Netherlands – Emilia-Romagna – Małopolska – Norte – Saxony – Saxony-Anhalt – South – Netherlands

Demo Cases

The overall objective is to demonstrate the feasibility, the value, the sustainability and the efficacy, as well as safety, of the 3DP technology once applied to medical problems, i.e. devices. More specifically, the demo case aims currently at setting up cross regional demonstration projects in order to further investigate, test and demonstrate 3D Printed Ankle and Foot Orthotics.
In the coming months, the demo case will aim at further broadening the objectives and scope of the demo case.

Participating regions

Demo Cases

This demo case focuses on product innovation enabled by additive manufacturing, particularly where components integrate electronics, sensors or other functionalities. It supports the development of multifunctional products and smart devices, combining advanced manufacturing technologies, embedded systems and AI-enabled functionalities.

Demo Cases

This demo case addresses the industrialisation of additive manufacturing production systems through automation, robotics and AI-driven monitoring and optimisation. It focuses on increasing productivity, reliability and quality assurance (incl. certification), enabling AM to operate as a fully integrated and scalable industrial manufacturing process.

Demo Cases

This demo case focuses on the development of next-generation industrial components enabled by additive manufacturing. It supports advanced component architectures such as lightweight structures, hybrid parts and large-format components, combining materials development, AI-supported design methods and robotic manufacturing systems to improve performance, efficiency and competitiveness.

Demo Cases

This demo case focuses on deploying additive manufacturing for maintenance, repair and spare-part production, enabling companies to manufacture replacement parts locally and on demand. It also addresses the development of digital spare-part warehouses, secure data management and software solutions enabling distributed manufacturing networks while protecting sensitive design data.
