South Eastern Applied Materials (SEAM), an ISO 9001:2015 accredited industry-focused Applied Research and Development facility based at South East Technological University in Waterford, Ireland, has launched an Expression of Interest call oriented to manufacturing SMEs looking to implement metal Additive Manufacturing solutions in their production or prototyping process.
The call is open from July 1 to August 18 and will result in three companies receiving selected services and access to innovation vouchers to test how Additive Manufacturing can be integrated into their processes. The chosen companies will be able to access numerous services at SEAM via funded innovation vouchers worth €5,000.
Additive Manufacturing machines at SEAM include an EOS M280, EOS P100 and Renishaw AM400. The facility can process stainless steel 316L and 17-4PH, maraging steel M300, nikel alloy Inconel 625 and Inconel 718, titanium alloy Ti6Al4V, aluminium alloy AlSi10Mg and magnesium alloy WE43.
The Enterprise Ireland Technology Gateway Programme is co-financed by the Government of Ireland and the European Union through the ERDF Southern, Eastern & Midland Regional Programme 2021-27 and the Northern & Western Regional Programme 2021-27.
