THE FINAL EVENT OF THE ADDISPACE PROJECT WAS HELD IN SAN SEBASTIÁN ON JUNE 13

After four years of development, the project ADDISPACE, supported by the INTERREG SUDOE program, has come to an end, and celebrated its final event presenting results such as a catalogue of the existing offer in France, Spain and Portugal, 4 demonstrators of the aerospace sector manufactured by various Metallic additive manufacturing techniques, a series of courses and training material and a permanent cooperation platform between the agents involved.

 Moreover, ADDISPACE and TRANSFRON3D projects organized together the final event where they presented the results achieved in both projects.

 The central axis of these projects has been the collaboration of technology centers, large companies, SMEs and industry associations from different regions of southern Europe, in order to advance in the manufacture of high added value products, thanks to the advantages offered by Metal Additive Manufacturing processes.

 The knowledge in the different existing technologies and the contribution of each partner were key to obtain innovative pieces for sectors such as aeronautics or automotive. Prototypes of these pieces as well as the lessons learned to produce them, were shown in this final conference, which brought together the additive manufacturing community of Spain, France and Portugal. The conference also featured special guests who presented their strategies for the implementation of additive manufacturing technologies in their organizations. Among the guests were Filomeno Martina from Cranfield University, Philippe Vannerot from AddUp Solutions/AFPR and Jean Pierre Argenton from Dassault.

 Finally, attendees had the opportunity to hold B2B meetings in an exclusive space enabled for these meetings.
