As part of the ‘Optimisation of Production in 3DP – 3DoP’ project, we participated in the first partnership meeting in Brussels on 14-15 February, bringing together all 33 project partners.
At the meeting, the partners got to know the work of other partners better, but also their tasks on the project as well as the tasks of other partners. The project started on 1 January this year and lasts until the end of 2025, and at this meeting we started developing ideas for technical solutions and many other aspects of the 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.
