The ADD-reAM project aims to advance the Dutch circular economy by integrating Additive Manufacturing (AM) into repair and remanufacturing, replacing resource-intensive linear models. It takes a comprehensive approach, addressing technological, logistical, economic, regulatory, educational and societal barriers to reduce waste and resource consumption in Dutch manufacturing and society. Through its Technology Roadmap and White Paper, Add-reAM will offer integrated solutions for extending product lifecycles, positioning the Netherlands as a scientific and technological leader in AM-enabled circular manufacturing.
The project was granted by the Dutch Research Council (NWO) in 2022 under project number NWA.1766.24.015 .
