Based on the demands of the São Paulo State Department of Economic Development (SDE), the ‘Development of the Metal Component Production Chain through Additive Manufacturing’ research group was established. This group includes the participation of six institutions from the state of São Paulo (IPT, ITA, EPUSP, EESC-USP, UFSCar, and IPEN) and one international institution (Fraunhofer-IPK). The group was designed with partnership plans that will enable the future development of new research lines, stronger ties with the industry, and the adoption of additive manufacturing technology through the creation of a manufacturing connections center and outreach initiatives for different audiences.
