Profile
The Additive Manufacturing Unit (AMU) is a research unit laboratory of Information Technologies Institute (ITI) of Centre for Research and Technology Hellas (CERTH) founded in 2019.
AMU provides its facilities and equipment for the manufacturing and examination of 3D printed prototypes and others in a more efficient stage before launching a product on the market.
AMU, enables social manufacturing approach on the basis of local ecosystems that makers, manufacturers and consumers, and interlink available micro-manufacturing equipment, ICT solutions and quality control to its infrastructure.
Furthermore, AMU support individuals to implement their ideas at a product, customized to their needs and requirements.
AMU supports the Do It Yourself (DIY) actions and synergies with SMEs and industries and reinforce the circular economy.
Mission
The Additive Manufacturing Unit (AMU) of CERTH/ITI has the mission to enable the wide-scale availability of on-demand rapid prototypes and 3D – enabled products for various applications.
To achieve its vision, AMU has built powerful infrastructures that provide hardware, software and guidance on R&D, rapid prototyping, manufacturing and innovation.
AMU is equipped with 3D-Printers, 3D-Scanners and Non-Destructive quality control tools. It is a Manufacturing, Design and Research Laboratory where innovation, vision and production are combined in an efficient manner. The laboratory aims to integrate Additive Manufacturing processes in various scientific sectors and change the design approach of product development.
