Development of new materials for Selective Laser Sintering with the aim of seeking and diversifying new rapid manufacturing applications

The aim is to develop, test and optimise new materials (plastics, metals, etc.) different from those provided by manufacturers of the technology that would enable meeting the needs of new customers and the demands of existing customers in order to find and expand to new markets in their application.

Introduction of new formulations based on biodegradable materials in the toy industry – Biotoys

This project intends to introduce new biodegradable materials to manufacturers of toys, children's articles and leisure activities. The ideas is that they will have alternatives available to traditional plastics for manufacture of new products or can replace part of the plastic materials by others with more ecological properties. [...]
