Smart Circular Manufacturing Made Simple
Ready to reshape the future of manufacturing? Start here.
Welcome to DIAdemia, the learning platform of the EU-funded DIAMETER project. Whether you're a manufacturing professional, engineer, student, or sustainability advocate, our new self-paced course is your entry point into the next industrial revolution: Circular Metal Manufacturing powered by Additive Manufacturing (AM) and AI.
Why This Course Matters
Traditional manufacturing wastes up to 90% of raw materials—especially in high-performance sectors like aerospace. But that’s changing.
DIAMETER is developing hybrid manufacturing systems and AI-driven tools to radically improve sustainability, reduce emissions, and empower local, on-demand production. This course brings those innovations to your screen.

What You'll Learn
- The difference between linear and circular manufacturing — and why the old model no longer works
- How Additive Manufacturing (including DED, PBF, MELD®, and MMD) supports repair, reuse, and recycling
- How tools like DIAgonal and DIAdemia help companies design, plan, and optimize sustainable production
- The real-world impact of circular strategies through case studies and visual simulations
- How to align with the European Green Deal and the upcoming Digital Product Passport regulations
No prior experience with additive manufacturing or sustainability is needed—this course is built for both beginners and industry professionals.
