Our partners from Slovenia and Italy visited us on the project ‘Optimisation of Production in 3DP – 3DoP’.
With companies TECOS and CAP from Slovenia and Trentino Sviluppo and HIT from Italy, we are involved in the development of technical solutions for electronics embedded in polymers.
Our partners visited the Torpedo Production Park where we further developed ideas about electronics embedded in polymers and the 3D technology we have in our Production Park and what this technology can serve us on this project.

About the project
3D printing (3DP) has shown the potential to increase productivity, combine functionality and foster smart and green transitions. However, despite the clear advantages of 3DP in optimizing production processes, there are still significant bottlenecks that hinder the implementation and acceptance of 3DP.
3DoP aims to remove bottlenecks in competitive prices and quality levels compared to traditional production and unlock productive investments through:
- Development of technical solutions in 4 targeted areas of application (‘Investment packages’).
- Setting up an integrated framework of innovation and investment ecosystems.
- Generations of sustainable investment chains of close-to-market and SME-led projects.
The implementation of 3DoP will have a major impact on EU production ecosystems through the sustainable optimisation of production processes. This will be done through the cooperation of the quadruple helix in the implementation of 3DP-based solutions that open up investments in regions and value chains.
The duration of the project is 3 years, from 1 January 2023 to 31/12/2025.
The project is funded by Interregional Innovation Investments (I3) and is one of the first such projects in Europe.
Porin participates in the development of technical solutions for electronics embedded in polymers and the exploitation and sustainability of investments.
