(Auburn Hills, MI – January 20, 2021) – Geofabrica has been selected to participate in Project DIAMOND (Digital, Independent, Agile Manufacturing on Demand), an initiative to create the country’s largest 3D printer network on blockchain technology platform.  Project DIAMOND was established through CARES ACT funding grants to help strengthen supply chains for personal protection equipment during the pandemic. 

Automation Alley, Michigan’s Industry 4.0 knowledge center, helped facilitate the distribution of funds and equipment, including 300 3D printers for small and medium-sized Oakland and Macomb County manufacturers. Geofabrica joins a network of 300 interconnected 3D printers that stand ready to print PPE or other equipment that may be needed during future emergency supply chain disruptions.

“We are honored to participate in Project Diamond,” said Geofabrica CEO, George Caravias. “This program aligns with Geofabrica’s mission to utilize 3D printing and additive manufacturing technology to help overcome the limitations of current manufacturing methods.”
