The TRANSFRON3D project will mainly address the challenges and needs related to the economy, employment, knowledge, and innovation within the POCTEFA area. The main objective of the project is the collaboration between technological centers, universities, large companies and SMEs from both sides of the border, for the production of parts with high added value through additive manufacturing processes. These technologies are still in an early development stage and require a multidisciplinary knowledge on materials, simulation, manufacturing processes, characterization, etc.… In addition, the term "additive manufacturing" encompasses several different manufacturing processes. Currently, the knowledge of each of these areas of expertise is dispersed among different companies, research centers and universities within the POCTEFA area. Combined efforts are needed to address the new challenges in order for the companies working within the collaborating territory to have a competitive offer in additive manufacturing technologies. The project will address various aspects of additive manufacturing process. The resulting outputs will include optimized designs, improved processes, and validation of the parts. The most notable result will be the production of four prototypes. This approach represents a radical change in working methods and offers advantages like a drastic reduction in the use of raw material, a high flexibility for the design of the component, and a reduced delivery time.
