ANTPROJECT TVIP SL
Basque technology SME specializing in advanced manufacturing processes — from collaborative robotics and laser micro-drilling to electric microvehicle development.
Their core work
ANTPROJECT TVIP SL (operating as PROSUMERLAB) is a Spanish technology SME based in Donostia-San Sebastián specializing in advanced manufacturing processes and industrial automation. Their work spans collaborative robotics for manufacturing environments, high-precision laser micro-drilling systems, and electric microvehicle development. They contribute technical expertise in process monitoring, control systems, and integration of advanced manufacturing technologies within larger European consortia.
What they specialise in
Participated in MULTIPOINT (2019-2023), working on multibeam femtosecond laser systems for high-throughput micro-drilling of hybrid laminar flow control structures for aerospace.
Joined LEONARDO (2021-2024), contributing to innovative electric microvehicle design for standalone and shared mobility.
MULTIPOINT keywords include monitoring drilling processes, and FourByThree involved customizable robotic quality solutions in manufacturing contexts.
How they've shifted over time
Their earliest H2020 work (FourByThree, 2014-2017) focused on industrial robotics and human-robot collaboration in traditional manufacturing settings. From 2019 onward, their focus shifted sharply toward precision laser processing for aerospace applications (MULTIPOINT) and electric mobility (LEONARDO). This suggests a deliberate move from general manufacturing automation toward higher-value, more specialized applications in aerospace and sustainable transport.
Moving from general manufacturing automation toward precision engineering for aerospace and sustainable transport — sectors with higher margins and growing EU funding priority.
How they like to work
ANTPROJECT has participated exclusively as a partner, never leading a consortium, which is typical for a specialist SME contributing specific technical capabilities to larger projects. Across just 3 projects they have worked with 32 unique partners in 10 countries, indicating they integrate well into diverse, large-scale European consortia. Their role pattern suggests they are a reliable technical contributor that larger partners bring in for specific manufacturing and process expertise.
Despite only 3 projects, they have built a network of 32 partners across 10 countries, reflecting participation in sizable consortia. Their base in the Basque Country — a strong industrial region — likely connects them to Spain's manufacturing and innovation ecosystem.
What sets them apart
Their combination of collaborative robotics, laser micro-processing, and electric vehicle expertise is unusual for a small SME — it suggests strong prototyping and integration capabilities (consistent with the "PROSUMERLAB" brand). Based in Donostia-San Sebastián, they sit in Spain's Basque industrial corridor with access to a dense manufacturing ecosystem. For consortium builders, they offer a versatile technical SME that can bridge manufacturing, aerospace precision processing, and mobility applications.
