DIAgonal is a next-generation digital platform transforming metal manufacturing through the principles of the circular economy.

It empowers manufacturers with AI-driven tools to optimize product design, plan efficient production processes, and evaluate sustainable end-of-life strategies.

Developed within the European DIAMETER project, DIAgonal aims to shift the industry toward smarter, greener, and more resource-efficient manufacturing.

Manufacturing is responsible for 20% of Europe’s greenhouse gas emissions, with traditional methods wasting up to 90% of raw materials in some sectors.

DIAgonal tackles this by enabling smarter product design — making components easier to repair, remanufacture, or recycle.

It also integrates with the European Digital Product Passport, providing full transparency on materials and processes — a key step toward a circular economy.

The platform combines three intelligent tools in one seamless cloud-based experience:

DIAgonal is built by a consortium of 18 partners from across Europe and beyond.

UNI Systems Information Technology leads the development, with contributions from top universities, research institutes, and industry leaders.

The platform is being tested in real-world settings across automotive, aerospace, oil & gas, and industrial tooling.

The first version of DIAgonal will be ready for testing by 2027, with a full release expected in 2028.

DIAgonal combines cutting-edge tech with actionable sustainability paving the way for a cleaner, smarter manufacturing future.

By 2033, up to 1,800 companies could be using the platform — reshaping how metal products are designed, manufactured, and recycled.
