Other players in the Global 3D Printing Hub will include HP, IQS, Renishaw, Fundació CIM, Eureco-Leitat, and Fira de Barcelona. With its development of the BioSpace Lab infrastructure, which includes an advanced 3D bioprinter and 3D printer systems, the institute offers the level of precision, characteristics and know-how required to revolutionize regenerative medicine and medical devices using this emerging technology, and is already positioned as the 3D bioprinting provider to researchers and companies throughout southern Europe. IBEC will contribute its expertise to the 3D bioprinting side of the platform. The Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia ( IBEC), based at Barcelona Science Park, is to be part of a the Global 3D Printing Hub, a 3D printing infrastructure in Catalonia, which will receive up to 28 million euros from the Generalitat by 2020 to consolidate Catalonia as a world leader in 3D printing, one of the key technologies in industry 4.0. The Global 3D Printing Hub will be headquartered in 10.000m2 of the Campus Diagonal Besòs in Barcelona. ![]()
