On the second day of the process of judging technological cores in the field of material engineering and construction, 12 projects were evaluated with the approach of commercialization and ability to attract capital and enter the market.

In total, 27 technological cores presented their projects during two days, and some of the selected projects will be supported at the end. The laser, photonics, advanced materials and construction technologies development headquarter has aimed to guide scientific elites toward the promotion of internal industries by using the development of required technologies and holding research competitions and events.

Along with the event of recognition of technological cores in the area of materials and constructions, various teams from universities and scientific centers of Iran, including Sharif, Malek Ashtar, Isfahan, K.N. Tousi, and Yazd universities, introduced their projects to judges.

Recycling and alloying, ceramic and composite, welding and fabrication, polymer, 3D printing, and surface engineering are different areas of the 27 projects evaluated in the event. Among these projects, 12 were related to 3D printing and surface engineering.

After completing the judgments and comparing the scores earned by the participating teams that were evaluated in the two days, the top teams will be selected and given their level of preparedness, support packages will continue to be available. Metals, polymers, glass and ceramics, composites, dyes, additives, biomaterials, smart materials, recycling, manufacturing, and finishing processes are among the areas that various industries overlap. With the advent of emerging technologies, it is necessary to enable industrial advancement in all these areas.
