Sector

C22.29, C28 or C30 depending on the applicant's activity.

INDICATIVE NACE CODE

Process

suitable polymer stream → grinding and pelletising → incoming control → FGF printing → mechanical testing → part use.

Problem

own polymer waste is sold cheaply, while auxiliary parts and tools are ordered from new material.

What the solution includes

grinder and separator; pelletiser; FGF printer; batch identity; mechanical property control; approved-parts catalogue.

What changes

own waste becomes usable production parts or tools.

How the result is measured

What we measure
kg good printed parts / 100 kg prepared recycled material
Baseline
weight records
Target
AFTER DIAGNOSTICafter testing
Evidence
material batch and qualification protocol.

Business effect

shorter lead time for auxiliary and spare parts and higher value of own waste.

Component parts

Physical assets

ДМА — grinder, separator, pelletiser, printer

Software and integration

ДНА — traceability and catalogue.

Indicative investment

The concrete value is set per client after technical design and current quotations.

Who does what

What to keep in mind

mechanical properties and part responsibility; not for critical parts without full qualification; possible research profile where technology is unproven.

Link to a funding programme

There is no open funding programme linked to this solution. When a new procedure opens, we check its conditions against your company and project.

Scope and clarifications
