Succesful integration of 3D Printing in Design, Development, and Fabrication processes often requires the revision of strategy, organization, workflows, and product architecture. Succesful reviews can highlight potential sources of value and create roadmaps towards competitive advantage using 3D Printing.
At F&P we provide consulting services to find these opportunities and structure new strategies and workflows that help your organization to migrate succesfully to an Industry 4.0 paradigm.
Our area of expertise covers 3D Printing, generative design, computational design strategies, strategic design, innovation management, and agile project management.
