CIRCULAR SPRINT: "Additive Manufacturing to Foster Circular Design” is a hybrid design sprint that addresses Circular Economy in a multidisciplinary and project-based manner. The event challenges PhD students, professional designers and companies, coming from a wide background, in combining Additive Manufacturing technologies (AM) and Circular Design (CD) to address specific design problems or challenges related to the implementation of a more circular economy.

Participants will be divided into teams and matched with real industry cases and partners selected by the organizers. The teams will be challenged to deliver a valuable circular concept and a tangible prototype solution for a client company in a short time span. Participants will attend online lectures to support their problem-solving activities. Access to 3D printers is provided for prototyping.
