At their stand, SurFunction discussed innovative approaches to additive manufacturing, with a particular focus on parts with complex geometries, which are critical for lightweighting applications in the aerospace and biomedical sectors. The CLASCO project is pioneering sustainable and efficient 3D printing techniques that address major global challenges such as reducing material consumption through weight reduction and improving specific properties such as friction, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility.

The engagement at electronica 2024 allowed SurFunction to communicate CLASCO's goals for sustainable manufacturing to a wider audience beyond the initial use cases. This interaction opened up opportunities to explore new applications for the technology, potentially extending its benefits to other industries in need of advanced additive manufacturing solutions.

The advances made by the CLASCO project are expected to play a significant role in shaping the future of manufacturing in Europe.
