VERKOTA Strength to industrial 3D printing via networking and research

Verkostoitumisella voimaa 3D-tulostukseen

VERKOTA is a follow-up project of Metal 3D Innovations (Me3DI) project. VERKOTA is a networking project aiming to promote diversification further and modernizing of region’s industry with new technology by: – Expanding R&D and sharing of expertise on industrial 3D printing (3DP) of metals between project partners – Increasing know-how of the regional companies about metal 3D printing and its supply chains.
VERKOTA is centered around the needs of companies in South Karelia and Turku regions. Following themes are addressed:

Mechanical properties of 3D printed parts, especially fatigue strength

3D printable materials and physical properties of printed parts

Post-treatments of 3D printed parts, especially heat treatments

Mass production and circular economy of 3D printed parts

Technical and economic aspects of 3D printing metal parts
