Community kick-off event of the 3DOP European AM consortium during Formnext 2023

Date: Tuesday November 7 2023
Location: Formnext in Frankfurt am Main

 

33 European Additive Manufacturing parties have merged skills, budget and expertise with one common goal: to turn AM into a scalable, high-volume production method. The implementation of the ambitious project, known as “Optimization of Production by 3D-Printing” (or 3DoP in short) started on January 1st, 2023. FormNext is the venue-of-choice to launch the project and invite the industry to join and benefit from the projects’ proceedings and outcomes.

State of play of the 3DOP work packages

The 3-year European project unites a consortium of 33 tech-parties and an even larger community throughout the continent. The integral and joint approach is to make AM scalable and a production method suitable for high-volume production. As several end-users are part of the consortium, there will be a strong focus on productivity of the manufacturing print process. This includes the integration of the post-production workflow and factory automation - needed for industrialization - from the very start. These productivity enhancements will be applied to metal printing, printing of molds with the integration of electronics, and the automation of AM-factories, service-bureaus and dental clinics.  

Besides investments for specific innovations, major resources have been reserved for new project development with the industry. As such, it will become the stepping stone to a community of dedicated partners with a joint strategy to bring AM to high volume production. 

For whom?

  • 3DOP participants
  • Potential customers
  • Supply chain and technology partners who have an interest in the topic(s)
  • Other stakeholders who might benefit from the results of the 3DOP project
