A Meeting with a Business Representative 28 października 2019

Date: 8 October, 2019

Place: ŁUKASIEWICZ Research Network – Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals, Gliwice

This meeting was between representatives of our project and the Institute and of a German comapany producing wires, Bedra. The main topic of it was discussing possible cooperation when it comes to producing new alloys wires, designed mainly for 3D printing.
