The current emergency situation has presented us with a number of new stimuli and challenges. These days more than ever, we need to share experience, information and our own know-how, so that we do not always have to start over and over again from the beginning and can build on the results already achieved, and not waste our own strengths and capacities. The Czech Technology Platform for Additive Production seeks to systematize and streamline capacities and opportunities in the field of additive production, which can be flexibly used to cover local needs in the fight against the spread of Covid-19. Here is a brief summary of how you can get involved and where to get inspired, as well as links to information portals that can help you deal with the current situation.

You can find all this information on the website of the MECHATRONICS Cluster (Klastr MECHATRONIKA), we try to update and supplement it regularly. You will also find a short questionnaire on this site, if you already have specific ideas and want to get more involved in this fight, we will be very happy if you let us know.

We realise that this situation is challenging. It is probably not possible to estimate exactly how and when everything will end. If you need to address something now, or have suggestions that should be heard, please get in touch. We also try to work with other organisations or the government agency of CzechInvest and to forward these reports so that measures and state support can be best adapted to the needs of industry. Thank you.

We believe that we will all be able to handle this extraordinary situation
