About
Founded in 2019, GEAR-UP is a ngo headquartered in Norway specializing in Other.
GEAR-UP is a transformative European research project focused on revolutionizing additive manufacturing through sustainable practices and advanced technologies. The initiative develops digital tools, methodologies, and simulation-driven approaches to address material variability in recycled materials—specifically stainless steel, aluminum alloys, and fiber-reinforced plastics. Key objectives include enhancing resilient design, life-cycle environmental impact assessment, and optimization of AM processes including laser beam-directed energy deposition, metal laser beam powder bed fusion, and fiber-reinforced polymer extrusion. The project emphasizes reducing virgin resource consumption, energy usage, and greenhouse gas emissions while developing universally adaptable AM technologies. GEAR-UP brings together a network of industrial partners, research institutions, and innovative companies across Europe to drive circular economy innovation in manufacturing.
