Periodic Reporting for period 1 - HOP (House Printing. Additive manufacturing technology for disaster areas.)

Berichtszeitraum: 2018-08-01 bis 2018-12-31

Zusammenfassung vom Kontext und den Gesamtzielen des Projekts

The number of people around the world displaced from their homes by armed conflicts or weather disasters has increased in recent years. For this, HURITRABE- "HOP" - HOUSE PRINTING, has developed a construction system based on additive printing to improve the situation of the refugees. Refugee camps are temporary solutions to war or weather disasters. With our project it is proposed to substantially change the living conditions of the people in the camps. We will be able to build a house for a family of six people in just three days, thanks to the fact that a team of robots will work at the same time and in a coordinated way, like a swarm of bees.

Arbeit, die ab Beginn des Projekts bis zum Ende des durch den Bericht erfassten Berichtszeitraums geleistet wurde, und die wichtigsten bis dahin erzielten Ergebnisse

In this period of time, we have advanced from prototype TRL 4 to TRL 6, we have contacted and we have reached commercial agreements, financial agreements and recruitment of suppliers to activate the necessary development plan for our project. All the weaknesses, strengths and opportunities of "HOP" have also been studied.Technical viability assessment:
We optimized HOP to TRL6. We worked together with technology validators and robotics experts in order to clarify the requirements from technical and usability standpoints. We designed a product allowing an easy market uptake by VAR companies. Also, we developed our first printing material who was design for our system.
Commercial viability assessment:
We update the business plan based on: user’s segmentation, pricing strategy and market trends. We studied the market to weigh up the benefits and cons of each of the routes to follow (patent, utility model or trade secret). On this basis, we had elaborated the best IP protection strategy to maximise its commercial exploitation.
Financial viability assessment:
We work with experts to account and assign the required resources for scaling up HOP till TRL9 by 2021. A financial analysis of the proyect and it's scalability led us know to update and build an economic forecast for the first 5 years of commercialisation.

Fortschritte, die über den aktuellen Stand der Technik hinausgehen und voraussichtliche potenzielle Auswirkungen (einschließlich der bis dato erzielten sozioökonomischen Auswirkungen und weiter gefassten gesellschaftlichen Auswirkungen des Projekts)

The undertaken analysis indicates that the project has a very interesting business potential in a growing market; will result in promising revenue growth; it will be technically feasible; and the company is prepared to carry out it.
