About ORGANIC
ORGANIC aims to boost the biological transformation of Additive Manufacturing (AM) processes by integrating bio-design, bio-based materials and bio-intelligent manufacturing into Fused Granulate Fabrication (FGF).
Why revolutionise additive manufacturing?
3D printing has already shown its value: it reduces CO₂ emissions, saves resources and helps design smarter products.
In ORGANIC, we move beyond the current benefits. We asked ourselves: What if additive manufacturing followed principles derived from nature to make it even better than it is already?
That’s our goal: to bring biology into additive manufacturing and create smart systems that don’t just make products, but also adapt, learn and improve.
Biocomposites as a starting point
Our first step is simple but powerful: printing with biocomposites. These natural, fibre-reinforced materials let us create fully recyclable lattice structures that are both lightweight and durable just like those we see in nature.
From there, we’ll go further. We will develop a printing systems that can self-configure, self-monitor, self-optimise and even self-heal. Real-time data and artificial intelligence will serve as enablers.
With this, we will set up a gentelligence framework for additive manufacturing
Our approach
Gentelligent Additive Manufacturing (AM) framework
Gentelligence links design, production and quality data through semantic digital twins and AI-powered knowledge graphs, enabling self-adaptive, zero-defect and sustainable production.
From first-time-right manufacturing to bio-inspired materials, it drives smarter, flexible and future-ready factories.
Open CAx: Optimising bio-inspired lattice structures
A single, integrated workflow that links design, toolpath and process planning will enable efficient creation of bio-inspired lattice structures. The approach enhances structural performance while reducing weight and material use, resulting in strong, lightweight and sustainable components.
AI-driven tools predict material behaviour and performance, providing precise control over each parameter to ensure every design meets its intended function.
Advanced FGF printing for bio-based composites
A large-format Fused Granulate Fabrication (FGF) system will enable the production of high-performance components from bio-based materials.
Precision-controlled extrusion, real-time monitoring and advanced thermal management deliver strong, lightweight and sustainable parts, optimised at the fibre level.
Self-X AM control
Traditional AM struggles with real-time variations, often causing defects — especially with bio-based materials. We are about to change this with a self-X adaptive control system that predicts, optimises and corrects in real time.
Its AI-driven, self-monitoring, self-healing framework ensures higher reliability, repeatability and quality, transforming complex bio-composite printing while boosting efficiency and sustainability.
Large-scale bio-inspired manufacturing
Building complex, bio-inspired structures at large scale is a major challenge in additive manufacturing. Material variability, process stability and structural integrity often limit performance — especially with bio-based composites.
We tackle this by combining advanced fibre-reinforced materials, self-adaptive AM systems and AI-driven design optimisation.
The big picture
This approach is driving the future of large-scale, bio-intelligent manufacturing.
With ORGANIC, we’re not just improving additive manufacturing.
We’re transforming it into a living, learning process.
