The Faculty of Engineering recently welcome the visit of the company Tumaker, within the framework of the professional cycles offered to the students of the Master’s Degree in Industrial Additive Manufacturing. Tumaker is an innovative start-up based in Oiartzun, in northern Spain, aimed especially at the sector of 3D printers. Aitziber Eizagirre, commercial manager of the company, offered the presentation. 

During his visit to the university, Eizagirre discussed with the Master’s Degree students the evolution of the 3D printing market. For example, the recent release of the patent for Stratasys and the development of open-source models has led to a new business model in which companies such as Guazen and Tumaker itself have found their strength. In this sense, Tumaker has managed to establish professional relationships with agents in sectors such as biomedicine, transport and textiles, thanks to its specialisation in 100% reliable printers that eliminate maintenance costs. 

A presentation focusing on the students

The presentation offered by Aitziber Eizagirre addresses the interest of the students of the Master’s Degree in Industrial Additive Manufacturing and its purpose of training the students in the scientific-technological bases of the Industry 4.0. In addition to addressing aspects ranging from materials science to design and manufacturing optimisation, it includes aspects related to the business models and associated with the new manufacturing paradigm.  Thus, thanks to a reflection on high-performance printable materials and machine architecture, the students of the Master’s Degree in Industrial Additive Manufacturing had the opportunity to learn more about the sector from a professional’s point of view.
