The event is scheduled for the 17th March in Bilbao (at BCMaterials site) and will count on the participation of SMEs that are using AM to make a transformation of their core activities, as well as research projects in the field of AM. It will end with a roundtable discussion to share both, industrial and research perspectives on the topic, with a particular focus on DED Processes (laser and arc based).

It is organised in the framework of MULTI-FUN project. It aims to improve performance and efficiency in metal additive manufacturing through the integration of multi-functionalities based on novel active materials and the development of new structural materials for Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM), including high strength aluminium alloys and low alloyed steel grades.

- The future of European Manufacturing: Enabling Advanced Innovations in 3D Printing

On Tuesday, Mar 14, 2023The H2020 INTEGRADDE project is holding its Final Event in Brussels (hybrid, format). The event will take place from 09:30 to 14:30 at La Tricoterie. The event is supported by the European Factories of the Future Research Association (EFFRA) and European Association of the Machine Tool Industries and related Manufacturing Technologies (CECIMO). 

The conference (which will include different discussions and a networking lunch) will bring together high-level policymakers, industrial actors, research institutions, and other relevant stakeholders to exchange views on the current most compelling issues related to 3D Printing in the manufacturing sector. 

This event will offer a networking space for like-minded people within the manufacturing industry while showcasing the latest advancements in Additive Manufacturing, the project’s achievements and upcoming test-before-invest opportunities from related EU projects for technological innovations. The event will also offer an overview on the current and future positing of 3D printing from the perspective of some of the most accredited voices in the industry. 

If you would like to find out more about 3D printing in manufacturing and network with your peers, register here!

ERA Industrial technology roadmap for circular technologies and business models in the textile, construction and energy-intensive industries.These industries stand out for their resource intensity and waste generation, but also their potential for circularity thereby contributing overall to the circular economy.

This  roadmap is an important element of the New European Innovation Agenda to align research and innovation investments at EU and national levels to foster the development and uptake of innovative technologies within a pan-European Innovation Ecosystem. It emphasises the need to develop innovative technologies, notably deep tech innovations, for the entire lifecycles of products and materials, from sourcing of raw materials, design and production to use, collection, recycling, and reuse.

The roadmap analyses 92 technologies for circularity in these three ecosystems. They address all stages of a material’s and product’s life cycle and are diverse, ranging from use of bio-based or recycled materials in the textile ecosystem, to additive and robotic manufacturing or telematics in the construction ecosystem, to end-of-life technologies in the energy-intensiveindustries ecosystem.
