The B4I (Brain for Industry) DIH (Digital Innovation Hub) is able to provide a significant part of its services using existing infrastructure, both within the Institute of Physics of the Czech Academy of Sciences and through other members of the consortium. In the field of additive technologies, this involves mainly 3D printing of metallic materials with laser sintering of powdered metals. For this purpose, one device of a research nature for the development of materials and also a device of a production nature for application use are available. To support project solutions, it is also possible to use the well-equipped laboratories of the Institute of Physics , which offer a wide range of analyses needed for materials research and development (analyses of material microstructure, mechanical properties, physical properties, corrosion properties, fatigue properties, etc.). The HiLASE centre disposes of unique laser systems, state-of-the-art experimental stations, and other equipment that can be used in a wide range of industrial applications.
New innovation Centre for 3D printing was established in Prague with the goal of connecting science and industry and supporting SMEs.
