TechMo, Technology Modelling for Sustainable Electronics Manufacturing Technologies

Project time: 2017 – 2018

Budget: 1 000 000 kr

Funding: SIP Produktion2030

Purpose and goal

This project aims tow ards demonstrating a new approach to determine long term forecasting and selection of which manufacturing technologies to develop. This is a complex decision and involve the definition, classification and modelling of competing technologies, product and production concepts, sustainability, the market and business opportunity, as w ell as the technological risk.

Results and expected effects

A successful implementation of the modelling approach may facilitate technology leaps, aggressive research plans that can be assessed more accurately that in the end w ill lead to and more innovative products and manufacturing concepts.

Approach and implementation

This research builds on previous research conducted w ithin the W ingquist laboratory focusing on technology transfer w ithin the aerospace industry. Even though the high focus of detail and engineering usability remains the same, w e have not previously investigated the possibility to model the complexity of technology development, insertion and reuse. The high uncertainty of the process as w ell as the indefinite options involved in the process calls for both high risk and high revenue if the project where to succeed. The research is a collaboration betw een Mycronic and Chalmers.

Tailored Tool Surfaces for Robust and Sustainable Hot Stamping

Tooling constitutes a significant part in the economical investment of the hot stamping process. Significant benefits in production economy and environmental benefits can be attained by improving the tribological performance in hot forming operations of automotive components. The main idea of this project is to create tailored tool surfaces on dies made from cheaper and easier to manufacture tool steel for the hot stamping of ultra-high strength steels.
