The Ascamm Foundation organizes the Rapid Manufacturing workshop in action

04/07/2006

on July 4, 2006

The Ascamm Foundation has organized on 13 July the free day "Rapid Manufacturing in action." "Applications and practical cases" to be held in the Hotel Parc del Valles in Cerdanyola del Vallès (Barcelona). (More information: http://www.aserm.net/jornadaflexman).

This day will showcase 10 practical cases of actual deployments of Rapid Manufacturing (RM) in industrial SMEs with different types of product and functional requirements, which will give attendees a comprehensive and next perspective of these technologies and their applicability to specific industrial needs.

Project Flexman

The Association Spanish of Rapid Manufacturing (Aserm), leads the project Flexman (Flexible and Virtual Manufacturing), which is part of the Plan of consolidation and competitiveness of the SMEs (PCCP) and which also involves other sectoral associations, technology centres, universities and SMEs.

Flexman project aims to increase the competitiveness of the SMEs involved in the chain of components development and capital goods, by means of rapid manufacturing, directly from electronic information technologies, whether they are prototypestooling, preserial or series of medium volume)<10.000 piezas). en el proyecto, se está realizando una exhaustiva difusión de estas tecnologías por diversos medios así como proyectos piloto con 50 empresas de los sectores del plástico y del metal. piezas).="" en="" el="" proyecto,="" se="" está="" realizando="" una="" exhaustiva="" difusión="" de="" estas="" tecnologías="" por="" diversos="" medios="" así="" como="" proyectos="" piloto="" con="" 50="" empresas="" de="" los="" sectores="" del="" plástico="" y="" del="">

The Guide and the Selector online RM technologies developed in the course of the project will be presented. Attendees will receive free of charge a copy of the Guide and a selector password on-line.
