The WEARE Group and the CETIM have decided to combine their forces to build a joint international network of test and control centers, specializing in the analysis and testing of materials and parts, especially those related to the development of additive manufacturing technologies.
For both parties, this agreement provides a way to strengthen their development in all the countries where they operate, now and in the future.
