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

Res2AM

The Res2AM project aims to develop a sustainable and resilient additive manufacturing (AM) process for large and complex metallic components using Powder Bed Fusion Laser Beam (PBF-LB), particularly targeting the Aerospace and Energy sectors.

SURF

The SURF project aims to pave the way for well-informed use of additively manufactured (AM) stainless steel in small modular reactors (SMRs). One of the main goals is to understand the mechanisms of stress corrosion cracking (SCC) in AM-produced and post-treated 316L in SMR-relevant environments.

Assessment and Production of Spare Parts

During crises and conflicts, it is vital that key societal functions remain operational. A lack of spare parts could cause disruptions that impact both food and water supplies. To explore whether additive manufacturing of spare parts could enhance resilience, the Swedish Food Agency has commissioned RISE.

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.

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.
