3D printing technology for large scale works made with minerals powder

An Italian SME, active since 2015, has developed proprietary technological solutions to produce 3D printers and systems to realize large scale works. They have evolved the “powder bed” technology to produce, with mineral powders and inorganic binders, works and objects with far superior levels of flexibility and efficiency. Investors for developing new applications and/or companies interested to adopt this technology through technical cooperation and commercial agreement are sought

The Italian company is an innovative SME, active since 2015 in the field of Additive Manufacturing, specialized in the production of 3D printers and systems to create large-scale works. The company has developed proprietary technological solutions that allows significant competitive advantages in terms of production flexibility, quality and production price. In particular, it has evolved the "powder bed" (or InkJet) technology so that it can use recycled minerals (marble, stone, sand) or waste from other processes in a Circular Economy path, and uses proprietary inorganic binders (two patents). Machines and systems are designed and built by internal engineers team based on the customer's needs, the specific performance required by the sector and/or the configuration of the production environment in which the machines will have to operate. Company's core business is the sale of 3D printers and systems. Implemented on an open platform, the company creates customized machines and systems, with individual modular components, equipping them with characteristics and performances that make them suitable for producing in specific sectors in which the company has already operated directly and/or in collaboration with Universities and Research Centers: R&D of materials and binders, coastal protection, architecture/urban furniture. Aimed at demonstrating the production potential of its technologies they also offers 3D printing services, mainly used by Researchers, Engineers and Creatives for materials and binders development and for the production of prototypes, objects, furnitures and medium/large scale artworks in stone and marble. The Italian company is looking for: Financial partnerships and Investors to develop further new market applications. Companies and organisations interested to adopt, adapt and use such technology through a commercial agreement with technical assistance. Companies and researchers interested in technical cooperation in order to further develop the technology or to integrate it with other materials, advance manufacturing and IT technologies also through EU public funding schemes.
