News / First results of 3D printing and Big Data see daylight

Through two presentations, a video and dozens of explanatory posters, 90 employees of our high tech companies were presented with the first results of nearly two years of working on big data and 3D printing projects. 

3D printing

Not only the purchase and commissioning of an industrial 3D metal printer is a resounding result of the 3D printing project. Under Philips' project leadership, several new ways of making molds for the production of hyper-modern plastic consumer electronics have also been worked on. During demonstrations of the 3D metal printer at our ICD-Shared Faciclity Center, the molds were tegoond.     

Big Data

Each company individually collects more and more data, but we still get too little out of it. Therefore, several partners are trying to give meaning to data in order to jointly develop practical applications for their customers. Collected data from different sources can be used to prevent breakdowns or diseases before it is too late. For example, Delta Instruments showed a device that can predict, based on milk samples, whether a cow will develop abomasum distortion or ketosis (lingering milk disease). And YP Your Partner showed how to give meaning to the UMC Groningen's big data, twenty million measurements per 15 minutes on the electricity network, so that the hospital can now see well in advance which of its many installations is in danger of giving up the ghost.
