18 projects selected in Pulsate’s 1st open call

The projects selected by the Pulsate Consortium can start the support program and receive the grant to assess the feasibility of laser-based technology implementation in their environment.

The Pulsate network – funded with 7.9 million euros under EU’s Horizon 2020 program – is designed and dedicated to boosting the adoption of laser-based advanced and additive manufacturing (LBAAM) technology that empowers the European manufacturing industry digitalization.
