AGENT-3D Strategy

The AGENT-3D (AGENT 3D: “Additive Generative Manufacturing – Printing New Worlds”) consortium is a strategic alliance of leading research institutions, industry representatives and small and medium-sized enterprises for the purpose of research, innovation and growth. Its declared common goal is to secure Germany the leading position in key areas of additive-generative manufacturing technology. As a member of the strategy team, Fraunhofer IMW (since 2025: Leipzig location of Fraunhofer ISI) analyzed market developments as well as technology and policy trends that promoted the further development of the technology roadmap and the identification of the consortium's strategic priority areas. The team also assisted with the transfer of the research results to the stakeholder communities and developed further training concepts for the consortium partners, as well as concepts for increasing the public's technology acceptance level.
