Additive manufacturing is a worldwide novel manufacturing technology that involves layering materials to make a product based on a digital model. This technique is employed all over the world and has transformed a variety of industries, including aerospace, automotive, healthcare and consumer goods, by enabling the production of complex geometries that were previously impossible or prohibitively expensive to create. It also enables rapid prototyping which reduces lead times and promotes innovation.

PIAM3D is a center of excellence in additive manufacturing with state of the art cutting-edge facilities and labs. It's a one-of-a-kind chance for eager and determined students to intern with us at the Additive Manufacturing Centre-PIAM3D.
