Base 3D

This is an alliance to promote research, technological development, and innovation in the field of 3D printing and additive manufacturing.

The action is structured into four projects:

LIGHT3D - Laser and other light technologies. Study of laser technologies and other light sources applied to additive manufacturing.
FUSE3D - Technologies for deposition of semi-fluid material. Improvement of parts where hot material (plastic, metallic, or mixed) is deposited in a semi-fluid or pasty form.
INK3D - Technologies for continuous ink deposition. Some examples include ceramic, polymeric, metallic, or compound inks, and bioinks based on human tissue.
HYBRI3D - Technologies for multimaterial hybridization. Obtaining multimaterial parts through additive manufacturing processes of high added value.
