  • Value proposition

IRES has expertise on AI-driven approaches for quality assurance of 3D printed components by integrating computer vision and machine learning into automatic defect detection. BIOG3D has expertise in customisable toolpaths for printability assesment based on interdependent parametrisation tests.

  • Environmental and social impact

Our consulting services for in-line monitoring and production optimization of 3D-printed components contribute to EU sustainability and circular economy goals by reducing material waste, improving production efficiency by adjusting print settings for minimal power consumption , and ensuring high-quality manufacturing. Reducing unnecessary energy use supports the EU's targets for cutting greenhouse gas emissions and promoting greener industrial practices.

  • Geographical and/or infraestructure restrictions

Infrastracture compatibility limitations with monitoring tools. New integration methods of monitoring tools must be incorporated if such limitations arise

  • Service Support

Kick-off meeting to define customer needs. Follow-up meeting in the middle of the service period and at the end to present the results.
