Catalyzing Smart Engineering and Rapid Prototyping
The 3DCENTRAL project aims at connecting “islands of innovation” to a stable network of regions for innovation. It´s focused on smart engineering & rapid prototyping where a substantial, current & future emerging market for CE cooperation partners is visible.
Generally there is solid knowledge base in the CE area, but less structured and less connected. This leads to some inefficiencies in developing regions, RTD and business sector. To tackle these challenges, to transform and improve this situation consequent, durable solutions with sufficient resources are required.
Therefore the main objective is to develop, implement and anchor powerful, practicable, future robust Knowledge Axes for the CENTRAL Europe (KACE) cooperation area to tighten and boost the linkages and capacities amongst the relevant technology & innovation actors of smart engineering & rapid prototyping.
3DCENTRAL fosters a change to the current situation by establishing and anchoring a practicable, user-friendly, replicable and future robust system of new strong structures (KACE), repeatable processes (CE Brain Base) and leading edge implementation cases (CE flagships).
The respective main outputs are a transnational, action-oriented system for 11 CE relevant knowledge axis, the toolbox & transnational Tech&Inno Camps to make the change elements stable, 11 CE flagship pilot demo cases. The project group, the involved partners (RTD, companies, Stakeholders) and regions benefit directly from the outputs.
The innovative character of the approach is demonstrated & highlighted by the concerted, replicable, anchored setting of the methodologies, tools and instruments which is unique for the addressed fields of technologies as well as for the participating regions. The main structures, processes and outputs are all transnationally oriented.
3DCENTRAL unites highly competent partners with strong networks & capitalisation to guarantee appropriate “money for value”.
