Summary: 
The Serbian based SME specialising in 3d printing system is seeking collaborative partners in the development of a large-scale illumination and lighting 3D printer systems for the interior design, advertisement, and cultural-heritage solutions. The client is looking for collaborative assistance in the specialist fields of 3D printing user interface development, construction automation and certification. Research/technical cooperation agreement will be considered.
Description: 
The Serbian company provides 3d printing solutions, with expertise in design, consultancy, installation, prototyping and development of custom made solutions. This company was founded in 2015 and has participated in the realization of several domestic and European projects on the topic of additive technologies. The principal motive for the Serbian company is the implementation and optimization of applied research leading to added value production of components. To fulfil this aim, the Serbian SME pursues the latest developments in prototyping, it acts as a distributor of major 3d printer brands and printer components in Serbia, and it runs 3d printing studio. The company has a diverse range of skills in engineering from design through execution and quality control. Which allows them to offer the services both independently for those who only need partial help, and for those who need a more tailored solution to be designed and executed. The company has been developing an additive manufacturing large-scale illumination and lighting 3D printer systems for which they’re looking to further develop into a more versatile platform, intended for rapid fabrication of illuminated structures and/or lighting components. The company is looking for a collaborative partner to tackle the software and mechanical engineering aspects of the project including a user-friendly interface. The resulting system will aim to provide a modern automated alternative to traditional or modular illumination and lighting systems for the interior design, advertisement, and cultural-heritage applications. The system will enable the end-users to very rapidly print lighting and illumination body designs, offering significant optimisation of design, evaluation and small series production processes.
Type (e.g. company, R&D institution…), field of industry and Role of Partner Sought: 
The company is seeking a collaborative partner development of subsystems and software. The partner would be highly engaged with the company's project team for the development of an advanced software platform and 3d printing device. The ideal collaborator would have experience in 3D CAD software or additive manufacture methodologies. AI programming knowledge would also bring great value. The company is looking ideally for cooperation in the framework od research or technical cooperation agreement depending on discussions with potential partners.
Technical Specification or Expertise Sought: 
The client is looking for collaborative assistance in the specialist fields of user interface development, construction automation and certification for 3D printers.
Stage of Development: 
Field tested/evaluated
Comments Regarding Stage of Development: 
The company utilizes Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3d printer for printing 3d illumination and lighting systems. The company offers printers in three dimensions 1.2x0.9x0.2m, 1.5x1.2x0.2, and 1x0.7x0.2 (LxWxH, in meters).
