The XaRFA, with 41 research groups from 23 Catalan entities, was born with the aim of facilitating the valorization and transfer of 3D printing technologies to society.
We offer a mentored and supervised path through four action programmes:
- Organize, monitor and evaluate the activities and results of the XaRFA project, as well as guarantee gender equality.
- Identify and promote continuously and internationally the technological results of XaRFA members that can be transferred to the industrial fabric through meetings and events.
- Formation and training of XaRFA members in the activities necessary to be able to commercialize a technology.
- Select and accelerate additive manufacturing technologies with the most XaRFA potential through the XaRFA2Market
Mission
To improve the transfer, valorization, and internationalization of research on additive manufacturing developed by the Catalan R+D+I fabric.
Vision
With its sights set on this milestone, the XaRFA Valorization and Transfer Program aims to become the link between the market and the Catalan research community in the field of 3D printing technology, positioning itself as a European reference in additive manufacturing and its applications.
Values
The actions of the XaRFA are based on the commitment to member institutions and entities, the responsibility to generate shared and enriching synergies, and the generation of value in society with quality technological solutions.
