Additive Manufacturing Initiative / 3D Printing technology for Greece
Bringing together pioneering
technology companies and leading organizations, the aim of this synergy is to
prepare the Greek market for the arrival of Additive Manufacturing (AM) / 3D-
Printing Technology, which is changing the face of the industry
worldwide by eliminating the traditional production models to the benefit of
businesses and people. AM makes production more efficient, more flexible, and
more reliable and enables the design, simulation, and creation of the most
complex constructions, not supported by the conventional production lines. In
the next decade, AM will be everywhere - from consumer goods to industrial
applications, allowing the creation of new and innovative design elements, the
development of stronger and lighter spare parts and the reduction of lead time
and costs.
The founding members of the Initiative will provide
their expertise and global network in order to create an Additive Manufacturing
platform in Greece. The aim of the AM platform is to make this new technology widely known and
help interested companies by creating a community of members that will offer
training, share examples of best practices, bring cooperating companies
together, etc. The Initiative will enable participating companies to gain a
competitive advantage and
create opportunities for this new community.
