The aim of the project was to create a unique platform, “Innovative and Additive Manufacturing Technologies”, addressing multidisciplinary issues that supported and strengthened long-term intersectoral cooperation. The main idea of the project was the development and emergence of a new partnership and cooperation between research organizations and the application sector within joint research. The project focused on research activities in the field of 3D printing of metals from metal powders by Selective Laser Melting (SLM) and Fused Deposition Modelling (FDM) technologies through a newly built laboratory with available infrastructure located on the applicant’s premises.
The key project activities aimed to ensure the two-way transfer of unique knowledge, experience, and know-how of the entities involved, prepared and developed a long-term cooperation strategy between research organizations and the application sector, carried out joint research activities and plans, strengthened the existing cooperation, developed new cooperation with the application sector – entities based in the ITI Ostrava agglomeration, and established and developed a joint research facility.
