Organisation profile

Smatfab Carinthia is a quite new Digital Innovation Hub coordinated by Carinthia
University of Applied Sciences. Established in 2020, smartfab CARINTHIA offers an
opportunity to think differently about the methods of product and service delivery to
organisations of all sizes, mainly regional enterprises and schools. The current focus
is on two topics jointly understood as advanced engineering techniques:
→ design for additive manufacturing
→ innovation in a circular economy.

Field of expertise: products and services essential to value-added benefit

→ Additive manufacturing and Circular economy – validation in the engineering
phase of new products.
→ Additive manufacturing technologies (fused deposition modelling, stereo
lithography, selective laser melting, selective laser sintering) and materials (polymers,
metals, fibre materials) – technical and economic validation of the use of various
technologies. Application for new product design, spare part management, and/or
making of handling tools in volume production.
→ Circular economy – modular design for repairable and reusable components, and/
or recycling.
