About the event 

Facility centres (in the context of this project) are public or private organisations providing quality services related to testing, validating and certifying 3D Printing solutions. These organisations are instrumental for the deployment and uptake of 3DP solutions as they give the opportunity to test, develop and demonstrate solutions before the actual company’s investment.

This event focused on:

• The use of Competence Centers to help companies understand and use this technology
• Trends, technologies used and major end-users
• The importance of training the workforce
