MyPrintPod selected for Innovate UK GBIP Germany programme
MyPrintPod was selected by Innovate UK for the Global Business Innovation Programme in Germany, focused on sustainable 3D printing and circular manufacturing.
myprintpod has been selected by Innovate UK for the Global Business Innovation Programme (GBIP) in Germany.
this is an important step for the business and a valuable opportunity to represent UK innovation in sustainable 3D printing, additive manufacturing and circular production.
why this matters to myprintpod
myprintpod is building a practical manufacturing model around:
- rapid prototyping
- low-volume production
- recycled and recovered materials
- per-part CO₂e tracking
- circular manufacturing routes
- localised, lower-impact production
the GBIP programme gives us the opportunity to connect with international organisations working on similar challenges, and to learn from one of Europe’s strongest advanced manufacturing ecosystems.
why Germany matters
Germany has deep expertise in industrial manufacturing, materials, engineering and applied research.
for myprintpod, that makes it a valuable place to explore:
- sustainable material development
- circular manufacturing systems
- additive manufacturing at industrial scale
- applied research partnerships
- practical routes from prototype to production
the goal is not just to observe. the goal is to bring useful insight back into how myprintpod develops its own services and systems in the UK.
what we hope to learn
the programme will help us test our thinking against international practice.
we are particularly interested in:
- how recycled materials are being used in production
- how additive manufacturing is being integrated into wider manufacturing systems
- how research organisations work with SMEs
- how circular economy principles are being turned into practical production models
- how sustainable manufacturing is being measured and communicated
these are directly relevant to the way myprintpod is developing its co-creation lab, manufacturing-as-a-service model and CO₂e reporting approach.
thank you
thank you to Innovate UK for the recognition and support.
thank you also to the wider community working on sustainable innovation, circular materials and lower-impact production. this work only moves forward when companies, researchers and support organisations connect properly.
next stop: Germany
this is a proud moment for myprintpod.
now the work is to make the opportunity count.
