The COEX Advanced Manufacturing is Navantia's Center of Excellence dedicated to transforming naval manufacturing through new materials, production techniques, and advanced digital processes. Located in the Bay of Cádiz, within the Innovation Center for Advanced Manufacturing Technologies, it boasts a unique technological ecosystem in the sector, with over 13 million euros in cutting-edge equipment and a multidisciplinary team with extensive experience in defense and industry.

With capabilities in metal and polymer additive manufacturing, robotics, simulation, sensing, and advanced metrology, the center leads European projects and initiatives within the PERTE Naval framework. Its objective is to improve performance, reduce costs and delivery times, and strengthen industrial sustainability. It serves as a connection point between design, prototyping, and industrialization, accelerating the adoption of disruptive technologies to create a new model of competitive and resilient shipyard.

Leading center in emerging manufacturing technologies, composite materials, and modular production for the naval industry of the future.

COEX Advanced Manufacturing drives the evolution of the naval construction process through the development of solutions based on 3D printing, mobile robotics, augmented reality, and modular manufacturing. Its workstreams enable experimentation with non-conventional designs, the use of flame-retardant and lightweight composite materials, and validation of components in operational conditions, as demonstrated by the ID7 project with onboard printing in real environments.

Projects like ADMIRABLE, in collaboration with entities from 10 European countries, aim to reduce ship weight and improve stealth and ballistic resistance. Likewise, its contribution to the PERTE ECOGES initiative translates into the manufacturing of functional prototypes that optimize sustainability and mechanical performance. This center, with a technological vision and practical approach, turns innovation into real industrial capabilities.
