Project Overview
Through scientific and engineering research, as well as real-world case studies, you will develop a framework and strategies for the sustainable and long-term adoption of AM in underserved communities, making a tangible impact on global challenges. The development and validation of the framework is expected to be supported by case studies focusing on redesign, realization and validation of 3D printing technologies for underserved countries. The validation will have a strong focus on exploration of the social dynamics in the target communities with the developed technologies and methodologies to ensure sustainable adoption of the printing technology.
