Thinking Additive Limited

We are believers in the idea that conventional and traditional processes of designing and manufacturing products should coexist with new digital manufacturing technologies like additive processes (3d printing). Our mission is to further support companies keen to implement additive manufacturing or other manufacturing technologies in a new combination of data collection, co-design with users and local manufacturing. The technology development is a game changer for traditional and modern ways to offer products and services. We believe that the progress of virtual tools cannot be stopped and should not be slowed down, however, we also support the idea that in our cities, physical shops and clinics should not offer the same categories of products or services to consumers who can easily purchase online. We believe that users should be part of the design and manufacturing process in a new engagement that makes the consumers more conscious. This may provides the retailers with a more exclusive way to trade: specifically via a new paradigm of products design, manufacturing of goods and individual services that are tailored around the identity of the consumers. Making products as mould/tools-free outcomes brings an enormous advantage in terms of new ways to create products that if adequately designed can be quickly linked to individual data, nowadays easy to gain and use, for reducing issues that may raise from inefficient supply chains to the generation of more comfortable products. Companies can benefit from new ways to create products to novel paradigms of manufacturing, for which consumer goods become smarter, tuned on consumers’ needs and more pleasant to use.
