Projects connected to the Application Center for Additive Manufacturing

RISE and the Application Center for Additive Manufacturing are involved in various projects within the field of additive manufacturing. Here you find details about ongoing projects, completed projects, and student thesis projects.

Ongoing projects

AMTVINE

AMTVINE is a framework for several work packages targeting verification of additively manufactured stainless steels and coated claddings during normal operation in light water reactors (LWRs). The project includes a unique examination and testing of novel fuel materials after operation in LWRs.

BRAVE

BRAVE aims to develop an integrated, experimental and digital framework, combining the capabilities of the commercial material and process modelling software tools, for optimisation of the AM value-chain.

3D-Action 2.0

The 3D-Action 2.0 project serves as a catalyst to raise awareness and knowledge about additive manufacturing and its benefits for small and medium-sized businesses in Västra Götaland.

MATER-AM

The MATER-AM project aims to propel the transition towards resource-efficient, resilient and, circular supply chains within the framework of Swedish export companies.

LAMBADA

Using additive manufacturing, LAMBADA aims to develop an ultra-lightweight and scalable battery pack with improved cooling capacity. 

LSAM-SAFE

The purpose of the LSAM-SAFE project is to develop a lighter design and more sustainable production of the sea rescue vessel The RescueRunner, for Safe at Sea AB, and to take steps towards a more circular value chain.

SuRF-LSAM

SuRF-LSAM merges previous projects, OCEAN-LSAM and SPARSAM, to implement a circular economy microfactory concept by establishing two microfactories in Sweden and Portugal.

iMAT

Innovative modelling strategies for additive manufacturing processes (iMAT) aims to increase the competitiveness of the manufacturing industry by utilising advanced digital tools and systems to further develop sustainable additive manufacturing (AM) for challenging components.

COMPASS II

The project aims to strengthen the knowledge in additive manufacturing along the entire value chain. Increased knowledge and collaboration between industry, academia and research institute is valuable for companies operating in the region, and for research and innovation capacity in general.

ProThin

The project investigates the robustness of the Laser Powder Bed Fusion (LPBF) process,  with a focus on the integrity of thin walls and narrow channels.
