3D printing technologies are being considered by some innovator leaders as a production method like any other, although some adjustments, innovations and improvements are still required. Additionally, it has been detected that fully functional business models that consider AM technology within its supply chains are not yet available. Therefore, the project iBUS.
The implementation of this pilot plant at industrial scale will allow to valorise waste coming from the zamak transformation industry and currently managed by depositing it in safety landfills, thus reducing the costs charged to manufacturing companies for its management.
It was carried out within the third general SASAM's meeting as a previous step to set the Standards for Rapid prototyping and Additive Manufacturing within European Industry.
One of the results of the Spanish project called IBE-RM is that the new materials are compatible with 3D Printers and will allow the creation of pieces for medical applications.
The technological centre is developing plastics with electrical conductivity, plastics with new charges, colouring plastics and with biodegradable characteristics. Besides, AIJU is working in the modification of existing formulations to allow their re-using during a higher number of cycles, thus contributing to a reduction in costs and the recycle of raw materials.
