SUSTAIN-3D (Supporting SME Transformation within 3D-printing)
We have identified a certain willingness of companies to invest in additive manufacturing machinery (3D Printers) and other technologies related to this. But the companies are not gaining the expected outcomes: Machines aren't utilized to the full potential and as production grade machines are expensive the companies are hesitant to invest in the machines they need and implementation on the production- and management floor is not optimal. This problem is identified in local company networks and best illustrated by the average deployment of already installed machinery like metal 3D-printers of below 3%. This problem needs addressing as it has the potential to slow the digital transformation of production industry.
