Austria Funding 3d Tender

LR Danninger Offers innovative companies the opportunity to look ahead in this crisis and to drive innovations in the companyThe 3D printing bonus is one of 21 individual measures of the Lower Austrian economic program to further strengthen the innovation landscape in the state. Provincial Councilor Jochen Danninger emphasizes Lower Austria is a country full of great innovative ideas. In order to realize these we started the 3D printing bonus. It helps to drive innovation in our operations. ENPULSION is one of the first to submit the 3D printing bonus. In the production process of the satellite ion drives manufactured by the company these must be tested in vacuum chambers. As part of the project a metal cooling plate was produced using a 3D printing process which allows several engines to be tested in parallel thus increasing the test rate by over 100 percent. The 3D printing was done by FOTEC the research company of the University of Applied Sciences Wiener Neustadt.ENPULSION currently has 40 employees. Of these 14 people were newly hired this year in the corona crisis year. ENPULSIONs export quota is 100 percent with half of the orders coming from the USA and the other half from Europe and Asia. The aviation industry has been massively affected by the crisis. In contrast the space industry is hardly feeling the economic effects of the Corona crisis due to the long-term planned projects. The Technology and Research Center Wiener Neustadt is an ideal location especially due to its proximity to the Wiener Neustadt University of Applied Sciences which means that we have a good source of skilled workers. This networking is important at this small and very fine location says Alexander Reissner Managing Director of ENPULSION GmbH.The aim of this funding campaign is to support companies in testing prototypes in 3D printing. Funding takes the form of a grant of a maximum of 5000 euros and 50 percent of the eligible costs. Submissions can only be made online until March 31 2021. A total of funds from the Lower Austrian Economic and Tourism Fund are available for 100 projects.When granting funding the applications are approved in the order in which they are received. It pays off to submit the application online via the business development portal as early as possible emphasizes Landesrat Danninger in conclusion.
