The Eurecat technology centre is showcasing cutting-edge innovations for companies in advanced prototype manufacturing at Advanced Manufacturing Madrid 2025, including a new 3D printer that combines additive manufacturing and machining, Incremental Sheet Forming (ISF) technology for the production of short series of complex metal parts, and new material treatment technologies such as ion implantation, which modifies the surface properties of metals.
These solutions “support companies in the development of new products, with the ability to transform ideas into tangible solutions. Eurecat contributes its expertise in industrial design, structural simulation through the application of digital twins, material selection and functional validation through testing, among other services,” explains María Eugenia Rodríguez, Director of Technological Development in Eurecat’s Industrial Area.
“This integration of knowledge and a multidisciplinary approach make possible to accelerate the development process, reduce risks and ensure that the product meets both technical and market requirements,” she adds.
During Advanced Manufacturing Madrid 2025, Eurecat is demonstrating the operation of a new 3D printer that combines additive manufacturing and machining based on E3D’s innovative Tool Changer architecture, which allows tool changes within a single printer.
Eurecat is also presenting Incremental Sheet Forming (ISF) technology for the manufacture of prototypes and short production runs of complex metal parts, enabling the optimization of production processes, as well as an innovation to produce metal powder using centrifugal atomization technology.
In addition, Eurecat is showcasing new developments in material treatment and development technologies, such as a new generation of vitrimer resins and ion implantation technology, which enables the modification of surface properties in metals through ion acceleration.
“Through its participation in Advanced Manufacturing Madrid, Eurecat brings its expertise in the development and transformation of plastics, composites, light alloys, metals and even textiles closer to companies, allowing it to adapt to a wide range of sectors,” highlights Eva Fité, Business Development Manager for the Manufacturing Market at Eurecat.
Conference agenda at Advanced Manufacturing Madrid
In addition, Eurecat is sharing its knowledge by taking part in several conferences during the trade fair. Albert Brigidola, Head of Eurecat’s Multiphysics Simulation Line, is delivering the presentation “Advanced simulation applied to the design of new products to shorten development time.”
Meanwhile, Eva Fité, Business Development Manager for the Manufacturing Market at Eurecat, is moderating the AEMAC Composites Materials Conference, “Integration of printed electronics in composites: advances towards smart and sustainable mobility.”
Finally, María Eugenia Rodríguez, Director of Technological Development in Eurecat’s Industrial Area, is participating in the conference organized by AIAS, “Metal Coatings on Composite Materials: Innovation, Advantages and Technological Challenges.”
