HP Opens Barcelona 3D Printing and Digital Manufacturing Center of Excellence
HP has opened the doors of its 3D Printing and Digital Manufacturing Center of Excellence in Barcelona, Spain, expected to accelerate transformation of industries with R&D, engineering, co-development and sustainable innovation.
HP Inc. has opened the doors to its 3D Printing and Digital Manufacturing Center of Excellence in Barcelona, Spain, a large advanced research and development facility developed for next-generation technologies. The 150,000 ft.2 facility at HP’s Barcelona campus is dedicated to the development of HP’s industrial 3D printing portfolio and provides a large-scale factory environment to collaborate with customers and partners on digital manufacturing technologies.
According to the company, the Center of Excellence unites hundreds of 3D printing and digital manufacturing experts in systems engineering, data intelligence, software, materials science, design, and applications in what is believed to be the world’s largest population of additive manufacturing specialists in one location. Designed for active collaboration across HP engineering and R&D groups, customers and partners, the facility integrates flexible and interactive layouts, co-development environments and fleets of the latest HP plastics and metals 3D production systems.
“We are bringing HP’s substantial resources and peerless industrial 3D printing expertise together with our customers, partners and community to drive the technologies and skills that will further unleash the benefits of digital manufacturing,” says Christoph Schell, president of 3D Printing and Digital Manufacturing at HP.
