HAZILORE

Additive Manufacturing (AM) technologies are defined as the process of joining materials to make objects from 3D model data, usually layer upon layer, as opposed to subtractive manufacturing methodologies (ASTM F2792-10 “Standard Terminology for Additive Manufacturing Technologies”). These technologies allow for the direct manufacture of 3D objects from data or CAD (Computer Assisted Design) models.

This research project proposes the development of an innovative, new active material in the ornamental plant sector for its use in additive manufacturing technologies, such as 3D printers, to serve as free creation and learning in society and education. The urban environment is the main point of contact between most people and biodiversity, so it represents a great educational opportunity with regard to advanced manufacturing. Furthermore, the educational centre where this project is to be implemented, POLITEKNIKA IKASTEGIA TXORIERRI, is a vocational training centre where students are trained for the industrial sector.

The development of an active material for application in the plant/seedling market on an industrial scale will provide a boost as an innovative product for GARAIA and will also involve an important development for DF BLUE AGRO S.L. in innovative biotechnology to adapt the germinating power of ornamental seeds and the formulation of fertilisers adaptable to the additive manufacturing process.

Additive manufacturing (AM) is an innovative model of part and product design. Additive manufacturing, its current situation and its future forecast was the central focus of a meeting held at the Gipuzkoa Science and Technology Park, promoted and organised by the SPRI Group and the Gipuzkoa Chamber of Commerce. The link between this industry and the sectors that are a driving force in industry 4.0. such as automotive, aeronautics, machine tools and health, is speed up its implementation in the Basque production industry.
