Established with the aim of creating up to 12 technology-based companies and facilitating the transfer of 3D printing technologies to society, the XaRFA network comprises 28 research groups from 14 Catalan entities.

We offer a guided and supervised roadmap through 4 action programmes:

  1. Organizing, monitoring, and evaluating the activities and results of the XaRFA project, while ensuring gender equality.
  2. Identification and continuous international promotion of the technological results achieved by the members of the XaRFA, with the aim of facilitating their transfer to the industrial sector through meetings and events.
  3. The XaRFA members will be trained and prepared to commercialize their technologies through the development of necessary skills and activities.
  4. Select and accelerate additive manufacturing technologies that possess the highest potential for XaRFA through the XaRFA2Market program.
