Projects in additive manufacturing

ReMAT enables a circular pathway for 3D-printing high-strength steels by recycling scrap into powder and extending powder lifespan. The goal: less virgin material use, stronger industry, and support for Sweden’s net-zero 2040 target.

COMPASS III aims to strengthen long-term competence in additive manufacturing. By fostering deeper collaboration between industry, academia, and research institute, it drives the development of innovative solutions that support sustainability, competitiveness, and growth – both regionally and nation...

This project aims to create and evaluate more efficient motor designs with improved field factors and reduced environmental impacts, by exploiting the use of additive manufacturing. This enables higher motor efficiencies and longer lifetimes compared to the state of the art today, leading to 5-10% l...

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 additive manufacturing value-chain.

The basic industry is important to Sweden's economy and is dependent on spare parts in order to function. Supply chains are often global, which has proven vulnerable when events in the outside world have an impact. The project aims to contribute to a resilient and competitive industry, by reducing t...

The MATER-AM project aims to propel the transition towards resource-efficient, resilient and, circular supply chains within the framework of Swedish export companies. Through Additive Manufacturing (AM), the project aims to develop digital spare part distribution, built on decentralized, demand-driv...

Low series manufacturing of transmission components in low alloy steel by additive manufacturing and relevant post processes can contribute to increased circularity and resilience.

The COMPASS II project, financed by Västra Götalandsregionen, sought 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 ...

In order to identify which components are suitable for additive manufacturing (AM), both technical and business selection criteria needs to be used. The purpose of this project was to investigate the possibility of expanding the technical selection criteria with business values ​​such as reduced inv...

3D-Action's goal was to raise awareness and increase knowledge about additive manufacturing and its benefits among small and medium-sized enterprises in Västra Götaland.

There is a delicate interplay between process flexibility and process robustness. As the flexibility of a manufacturing process increases, the identification and control of the sources of variation become more challenging. The project ProThin investigates the robustness of the Laser Powder Bed Fusio...

Smart materials can find a valuable use in many applications. In particular, varying the type and content of magnetic filler embedded in a matrix material can tailor mechanical and magnetic properties of these composites and thus enables real-time self-sensing of strain/stress and long-term deformat...

Projektet syftar till att skapa en förstärkt kapacitet för erbjudanden inom additiv tillverkning genom internationell uppkoppling till en gemensam öppen testbädd.

A robust electric power system depends on critical components and spare parts being available when they are needed. In the event of major disruptions, interruptions to international supply chains or, in the worst case, war, access to spare parts can become a decisive factor in how quickly the electr...

UPBEAT will create methods to identify, quantify, and manage uncertainties for reliable design and manufacturing. Multiscale simulations will help understand defects, singularities, and distortions during assembly.

Additive manufacturing (AM) is a new technology, which is identified as particularly interesting for small modular reactors (SMRs). The use of AM in SMR opens up completely new possibilities with respect to component design, manufacturing lead times and availability of spare parts.
