DIAMETER is reshaping the future of metal manufacturing by integrating circular economy principles with hybrid additive manufacturing systems. Our goal is to drastically reduce industrial carbon emissions, improve material efficiency, and support the transition to local, low-waste production models across Europe and beyond.

By harnessing the power of artificial intelligence, digital twins, and advanced simulation, DIAMETER helps manufacturers embed sustainability directly into the design, production, and lifecycle management of metal components.

DIAMETER’s mission is anchored in four strategic objectives that support both environmental and industrial resilience:

1. Evaluate Sustainability of Circular-by-Design Systems

   We assess both the ecological and economic performance of hybrid manufacturing systems that combine traditional and additive methods—delivering data-driven validation for circular production.

2. Develop AI-Based Tools for Circular Manufacturing

   We’re building an AI-powered toolkit that supports:

   • Lifecycle assessment (LCA)
   • Process optimization
   • Circularity-driven design
     These tools help companies make smarter decisions and meet sustainability targets efficiently.

3. Create Scalable Digital Platforms

   Through our two core platforms:

   • DIAgonal (manufacturing decision support)
   • DIAdemia (e-learning for professionals)
     we enable both technical implementation and workforce upskilling in sustainable manufacturing practices.

4. . Demonstrate Industrial Impact

   Through real-world use cases, DIAMETER proves that circular manufacturing can reduce emissions by up to 30%, optimize material use, and cut production time—all while remaining economically viable.

DIAMETER technologies are built for high-impact, high-demand industrial sectors, where sustainability, precision, and performance converge.

Key Sectors

• Aerospace – Lightweight components, structural parts
• Oil & Gas – Pressure-resistant equipment, metal parts lifecycle extension
• Automotive – On-demand spare parts, die repair, design optimization
• Industrial Tooling – Custom tools, remanufacturing, wear-resistant solutions

Application Areas

Our hybrid manufacturing and digital sustainability tools are ideal for:

• Complex geometry production
• On-demand and distributed spare parts
• Product repair, reuse, and remanufacture
• Sustainable material substitution and reduction

The manufacturing sector contributes over 20% of the EU’s greenhouse gas emissions. DIAMETER directly supports the goals of the European Green Deal, the Digital Product Passport, and the twin green and digital transitions.

By combining cutting-edge additive technologies, AI-driven insights, and educational innovation, we’re creating a scalable, exportable model for sustainable industry transformation.
