Meet Our Partner: CARTIF 

Powering Innovation for Sustainable Manufacturing in Diameter

Meet CARTIF, a leading Spanish applied research center at the forefront of industrial innovation. As a multidisciplinary technology center, CARTIF specializes in bridging the gap between research, technology, and real-world industrial needs to foster sustainable manufacturing practices.

In this interview, Norberto Iván Lorenzana, mechanical engineer and researcher at CARTIF, discusses the center's pivotal role in the DIAMETER Project and their commitment to reconciling traditional manufacturing priorities with environmental sustainability.

CARTIF's Strategic Contribution to DIAMETER

CARTIF leads the coordination of Work Package 2, a crucial component that ensures seamless interaction between often disconnected industrial priorities: cost-efficiency and functionality on one side, and sustainable processes on the other.

This coordination demonstrates that combining these concepts can enhance industrial outcomes while supporting environmental goals.

CARTIF brings extensive experience in applied R&D and industrial collaboration to DIAMETER, contributing through:

  • Process Monitoring: Advanced monitoring systems for manufacturing processes
  • Algorithm Development: Creating intelligent algorithms to optimize production
  • Digital Tools: Designing practical digital solutions for circular economy implementation
  • Decision-Support Toolkit: Developing user-friendly applications that enable engineers to detect improvements and optimize components without requiring expert-level knowledge in additive manufacturing or sustainability

Real-World Impact

CARTIF's approach focuses on delivering practical, scalable, and impactful solutions that bridge technology, industry, and society. Their ultimate goal extends beyond the project itself—to benefit surrounding companies through consultancy services and support that helps businesses transform their manufacturing methodologies toward greater sustainability.

By merging applied research with authentic industrial needs, CARTIF ensures that DIAMETER creates tangible value for Europe's transition to climate-neutral manufacturing.
