Additive manufacturing (AM) has been highlighted as a key technology with potential for creating sustainable high value European based employment, addressing societal issues and supporting environmental sustainability. The processes based on Additive Manufacturing spans many industries, including automotive, medical, aeronautics, defense, capital and consumer goods, etc. Moreover, AM has demonstrated to possess the capability to generate future revenues, to develop novel disruptive business models, not seen up to date, that could help to keep manufacturing in Europe competing with emergent countries. All those are heavyweight reasons for Europe to make specific efforts to define a plan of action in the field.
On this basis, FoFAM project takes up the challenge of clustering developments on Additive manufacturing technologies and associated regimes to develop a strategy to ensure AM industrial deployment. It aims to enable the integration of AM key outcomes under the PPP “Factories of The Future (FoF)” to push them to market by promoting synergies and identifying appropriate mechanisms that stimulate exploitation, transfer and coordination among all key actors.
For a complete success strategy not only technology stakeholders but also policy makers should be involved. In this sense, the project includes high involvement of European regions to ensure an efficient use of structural funds associated to them. Effective cross-sectorial and cross-national interactions will be pursued by promoting alliances in alignment with the research and innovation strategies for manufacturing smart specialisation (RIS3).
