The Project DIAMOnD Digital Transformation Center

Get Additive Manufacturing Expertise and Industrial Equipment to Launch Your Commercial Applications
In addition to receiving their very own state-of-the-art 3D printer and training, Project DIAMOnD participating companies now have access to additional industrial 3D Printing equipment and expert assistance via the Project DIAMOnD Digital Transformation Center (DTC), located in Auburn Hills, MI.Work with a team of additive manufacturing experts to identify applications and develop new revenue streams using the equipment and software available at the DTC for polymer and metal physical or digital products.

Why use the DTC?

Validate Products Without Equipment Investment: Qualified companies will retain access to the DTC to 3D print and post-process products at a discount, without the burden of owning and operating complex equipment. This is an opportunity to launch and validate products before investing in industrial additive manufacturing equipment.

Access to Reverse Engineering and Metrology Tools:
Beyond 3D printing equipment, the DTC will also provide access to industrial 3D scanners and advanced modeling and measurement software.

Easy Order Management: Companies will be able to upload and order parts through the DTC with full transparency on production process parameters, protecting their IP and production know-how for future reuse.
