Mad4AM is an Integrated Research Network dedicated to Additive Manufacturing and Biofabrication. The project brings together researchers and engineers from 14 laboratories around a common goal: to achieve the full potential of AM for the Industry and the Health of the Future. Mad4AM is part of the scientific component of the NExT Initiative and is supported by the French Government under the Programme "Investissements d'Avenir" (ANR-16-IDEX-0007), the Pays de la Loire Region and Nantes Métropole.

The Mad4AM network aims to contribute to the diffusion and acceptability of Additive Manufacturing technologies in different application sectors of the industry and health sectors.

The project is supported by the NExT (Nantes Excellence Trajectory) initiative of Nantes University.

For 3 years from 2022, the main objective will be to structure an interdisciplinary research community around Additive Manufacturing (AM) in the Nantes region. The project includes training programs and partnerships with different companies working with AM technologies.

MAD4AM is an integrated research cluster, dedicated to Additive Manufacturing (FA), managed by the CNRS and funded by NExT.
