CECIMO has launched its Manifesto for a Aggressive European Additive Manufacturing (AM) Sector in an effort to ship clear, strategic suggestions to strengthen Europe’s place within the international AM market.
The doc, launched on Friday, has been co-signed by 10 associations throughout Europe and descriptions the alternatives for AM within the EU, together with the inexperienced transition, digitalisation, re-shoring, superior supplies improvement, and strengthened industrial autonomy.

CECIMO says its mission is to, “Set up the EU as a world powerhouse for additive manufacturing and create an AM trade ecosystem that drives the event and deployment of cutting-edge applied sciences in addition to contributes to the inexperienced and digital transition in EU.”
