Premium AEROTEC, Faurecia Clean Mobility and Solvay launched IRG CosiMo, a three-year private consortium to develop materials and process technologies for high-volume production of thermoplastic composites for aerospace and automotive markets. ITA Augsburg will host and manage the consortium.

Premium AEROTEC, an aerostructures supplier, acquired APWORKS, a metal 3D printing company previously a subsidiary of Airbus, to combine additive manufacturing expertise for aerospace clients.

Premium Aerotec, Daimler and EOS have partnered to invest several million euros in the NextGenAM project, aiming to automate the industrial 3D printing process for large-scale serial manufacturing of aluminum parts. The project is scheduled to begin in May 2017 at Premium Aerotec's technology centre in Varel, Germany.
