One-liner: the metal-mechanical, wood & furniture technology institute (Paterna) — product design & development, innovative materials, and advanced/sustainable manufacturing (incl. additive/3D) and logistics. A broad industrial testbed for metal, wood, furniture, habitat and manufacturing startups.
What you get
- Product design & development and prototyping, incl. additive manufacturing / 3D printing and advanced processes.
- Materials & product testing (metal, wood, furniture, coatings) and certification; quality/durability labs.
- R&D on advanced & sustainable manufacturing, Industry 4.0, and logistics; eco-design and regulatory support.
Who it's for
- Metal-mechanical, wood, furniture, habitat, industrial and manufacturing startups developing or certifying a product/process.
How to engage (routes)
- Direct testing / prototyping contract — scope a design, prototype (3D), or test/certification; pay per service.
- Contract R&D / joint project — co-develop a product, material or advanced-manufacturing process.
- As a subcontractor in your own grant — eligible external-service cost in IVACE PIDI-CV 2026 / INPYME 2026 (metal-mechanical, habitat & furniture are INPYME target sectors) / NEOTEC 2026.
Key facts
- Metal + wood + furniture + additive manufacturing under one roof. Cost = per-service fees; leverage INPYME/PIDI routes.
