The ultimate goal of Base3D is to accompany additive manufacturing technologies throughout a process of technological maturation and to press as much as possible to achieve their tangible implantation in the Catalan industry, operating rooms, companies and classrooms.
To achieve this goal, the different subprojects that are part of Base3D will be developed: P1 Light3D: Laser and other light technologies, P2 Fus3D: Technologies for deposition of semi-molten material, P3 Ink3D: Technologies for he deposition of continuous inks and P4 Hybri3D: Technologies for multimaterial hybridization. These four subprojects will form the basis of the future 3D industry in Catalonia from the development of technology through the value chain of 3D printing. This basis will be generated through research and development in materials, simulation, design and development of prototypes, and testing and evaluation in laboratory and industrial environments.

This project is being supported by Secretaria d’Universitats i Recerca del Departament d’Empresa i Coneixement de la Generalitat de Catalunya and Programa operatiu FEDER de Catalunya 2014-2020. Reference: 001-P-001646.
