AIDIMME / CAPACITIES / Additive Manufacturing



Development of applications in Additive Manufacturing processes

With more than 25 industrial machines available at our facilities, including additive manufacturing systems for metal, polymers and concrete, 5-axis machining and high-precision post-processing capabilities, we support you in the development and industrialization of your projects.

We offer a comprehensive technological environment to transform complex concepts into reliable industrial components. Furthermore, we work with a wide range of materials available to meet the needs of each application.


Qualification, testing and validation of processes

Thanks to the laboratories available at our facilities and our process management procedures, we support companies in the industrial qualification of additive manufacturing processes, ensuring repeatability and consistent quality.

Our capabilities enable comprehensive characterization of materials, processes, and components, including mechanical behavior, microstructure, and dimensional accuracy. This integrated approach allows us to move from experimental development to stable, controlled, and industrial production.

By combining testing, inspection, and process control, we help companies reduce technical risk, ensure product performance, and confidently deploy additive manufacturing in demanding industrial applications.


Development of new materials for additive manufacturing

We have advanced capabilities for the development, adaptation, and industrial introduction of new materials for additive manufacturing, encompassing metals, polymers, and cement-based materials. Our work covers everything from material formulation and optimization to process window definition and stabilization.

By combining materials science, process engineering, and a deep understanding of additive manufacturing technologies, we enable the implementation of new materials under reliable and repeatable production conditions. This allows us to expand the range of achievable properties and applications beyond the current state of the technology.

Through this integrated approach, we help companies unlock new use cases for additive manufacturing and align material and process performance with real industry requirements.


Training and knowledge transfer

We offer specialized training programs tailored to the real needs of the industry, with a strong focus on practical content and real-world applications. Our courses are designed to help companies effectively adopt and implement additive manufacturing technologies in engineering and production environments.

Our training activity covers the entire additive manufacturing value chain, from technologies and processes to materials and design for additive manufacturing (DfAM).

By combining theoretical foundations with practical cases and demonstrations, we ensure a direct transfer of knowledge to industrial practice.

Through this approach, we help companies develop capabilities.
