Research and Development

Many SMEs cannot afford expensive research and development facilities and other companies may not have research specialists based in-house.

PrintCity can provide a wide range of support to address these challenges, from contract consultancy and funded PhDs to Knowledge Transfer Partnerships (KTPs). We’re particularly interested in developing innovation in product design, manufacturing and developing new materials for 3D printing.
