Knowledge development on designing Ultra Personalised Products & Services Call for Proposals open until 31 December 2021.

Fieldlab UPPS invites design-driven SMEs and creative professionals to submit project proposals around designing Ultra Personalised Products & Services. In this third Call, a number of projects will again be honoured. For these projects, 50% matching funding is available from CLICKNL. The contribution of the company or creative professional is at least 50% of the project size in cash or hours.

3D data has brought a rich source of information for designing well-fitting products much closer. The resulting opportunities are far from being exploited. The design approach for UPPS is still in its infancy. Fieldlab UPPS tackles UPPS design challenges based on practical issues and shares the results at one of our Meet UPPS events.

Fieldlab UPPS offers expert support around designing UPPS. And can experiment with facilities such as 3D/4D scanners, and printers. The location is TU Delft.

Creative professionals and design-driven SMEs are invited to submit project plans for collaboration, within the fields of health, sports, safety & fashion.
