Additional Context
MX3D, a Dutch company specializing in robotic Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM), has announced the conclusion of the PIONEER project, an EU Horizon-funded initiative in which the company served as a pilot line leader within a broader European consortium. The effort centered on industrializing automated design, fabrication, and certification workflows for structurally optimized, load-bearing hybrid steel components targeting the civil engineering sector.
A central partner in the project was Imperial College London, specifically the structural engineering department led by Professor Leroy Gardner, an institution that has maintained an ongoing collaboration with MX3D since 2016, beginning with the landmark MX3D Bridge and continuing through the EU Horizon 2020 Integradde initiative.
