Description
CIM UPC advises companies to be able to integrate additive manufacturing in their entire value chain through design for additive manufacturing (DEFAM) and the integration of these technologies in the customer’s home.
In the Pilot Plant, located on the South Campus of the UPC in Barcelona, they have additive manufacturing equipment for the professional range of 3D printing of polymers, either with selective laser sintering (SLS), stereolithography (SLA) or fused filament fabrication (FFF).
These technologies could be used to manufacture prototypes, tools, pre-series or even definitive parts. Consequently, they are highly functional.
