The Spanish technology center IAM3DHUB, operated by Leitat, and the Swiss software company Spherene have announced a strategic partnership aimed at sustainable and material-efficient applications in the field of additive manufacturing. The goal of the collaboration is to combine technological infrastructure with software solutions to advance the industrial use of resource-efficient 3D printing.
Spherene is developing its “Geometry Engine” software, which introduces a new approach to the design of additively manufactured parts. The focus is on optimizing structures for mechanical performance while reducing material consumption and production time. The software employs generative design methods, particularly suited for applications that demand high strength and lightweight construction—such as medical technology or mechanical engineering.
By integrating into the IAM3DHUB ecosystem, Spherene gains access to industrial testing environments and partner networks. This will help validate the software solutions under real-world production conditions and support their industrial scalability. At the same time, the Hub’s partners benefit from new opportunities to develop circular products and data-driven design processes.
The cooperation highlights the growing demand for sustainable manufacturing strategies in additive manufacturing. Through close alignment with industrial user environments, the potential of data-based design is further unlocked in practical applications.
With this partnership, both organizations reaffirm their commitment to advancing additive manufacturing as a future-ready technology focused on efficiency, functionality, and sustainability.
