Ecosistema GO Consortium to Help Industries in Spain

Ecosistema GO, a new consortium, is built to help industries in Spain accelerate the adoption of additive manufacturing. Ecosistema GO! is a project that promotes the adoption of additive manufacturing in strategic sectors, supported by the Center for the Development of Industrial Technology (CDTI) through the call for grants to Innovation Ecosystems based on Networks of Excellence Cervera.

The initiative is led by a consortium that gathers some of the main references of the sector: Leitat, as coordinator, together with Aitiip Centro Tecnológico, Idonial, Aimen, Addimat, HP and the manufacturer of wire-laser metal 3D printing solutions for industries Meltio. Its objective is to strengthen the transfer of knowledge, promote the industrial deployment of additive manufacturing and boost its adoption in the national industry.

Among its main lines of action, Ecosistema GO! is developing a map of capabilities that will gather in a structured way the technological resources, infrastructures, lines of specialization and R&D projects related to 3D printing in Spain. This tool will make it possible to identify strengths, detect opportunities for collaboration and guide strategic investment and technological development decisions.

The project also includes the organization of sector workshops in areas such as automotive, energy and aerospace. The purpose of these meetings is to bring the real capabilities of additive manufacturing closer to different industrial segments, share success stories and define effective adoption strategies.

"Ecosistema GO! represents a unique opportunity to align capabilities, generate synergies and accelerate the real incorporation of additive manufacturing in Spanish industry. Our commitment is clear: to promote a collaborative network that converts knowledge into concrete, accessible and sustainable solutions for the productive sectors. This project allows us to take a decisive step towards a more agile, innovative and resilient industry, and to promote its adoption and impact on the industry at a national level," says David Adrover Iglesias, general secretary of IAM3DHUB operated and managed by Leitat, and coordinator of the project.

In addition to the entities that drive it, Ecosistema GO! is conceived as an open initiative. New companies, research centers and organizations interested in being part of this innovation network can join through the form provided in its website, expanding the impact and sustainability of the proposal.

With a planned duration until December 2025, Ecosistema GO! aims to consolidate as the nucleus of reference for additive manufacturing applied to industry in Spain.
