The challenge
It is our challenge to work on the applicability of key 3D printing technology in the manufacturing industry. What do companies ask us to print? This may vary from a trailer, a complete rescue boat to precision instruments. And is it a safe, durable and good alternative? We help with all these kinds of questions pertaining to applicability.

“3D printing offers so many advantages, such as fast production, personalised products and minimal inventory. It involves less waste, lower costs and greater design freedom. This leads to a revolution in how products are designed, developed and produced.”
Wilbert van den Eijnde | Associate lector NHL Stenden

This is what we do
At Greenwise Campus, we share our 3D printing knowledge through Masterclasses and study programmes. We work on research queries from companies to make 3D printing applicable.

Where we stand now
The 3D printing technology already exists, but much research is needed to be able to apply it on a large scale. What can we print? Which materials do we use for it? And are those materials just as strong and durable? How should I structure my production process? At Greenwise Campus, these are the kinds of issues we tackle. Ultimately, we also want to start 3D printing with bio-based materials.

The technology is in an advanced stage of development. We still have a few challenges to overcome before it can be applied on large scale. There is room for improvement in materials, speed, precision and integration into existing production processes.
