Our work with Universities and research institutes

There is a constant commitment to the advancement of metal additive manufacturing technology in Prima Additive's DNA. We are not doing this alone, but have a large network of universities, research institutes and competence centers with whom we have embarked on a co-innovation process using an open innovation approach.

What we are interested in is improving the efficiency of production processes and making them environmentally sustainable.

Prima Additive for the university and research institute sector

Find out what we do for the university and research institute sector

We are an active participant in numerous research projects that focus on improving the additive process and its efficiency, design, work on topological optimization, photonics, applications, and more.

Prima Additive's solutions are particularly well suited for research purposes, as they are fully "Open Parameter" and allow total customization of all process parameters, thus allowing any research on new materials or process optimization to be freely carried out by the final user.
