Reduced lead times and improved performance for tooling through innovative manufacturing and assembly strategies as well as optimised design enabled by use of additive manufacturing (AM).
AMtoFlex will strengthen the competitiveness of the Swedish manufacturing industry through improved production flexibility in the tooling manufacturing industries by novel design, manufacturing strategy, and assembly strategy through usage of emerging and novel technology like Additive Manufacturing (AM). In the tooling industry, the main challenge having a negative impact on the Swedish manufacturing industry is lead time, that on average is about 11 weeks, and for large and complex tools, as used in the automotive industry, can be as long as a year. Through utilization of AM, it is possible to address near-net-shape manufacturing incorporating internal cooling channels and removing time-consuming subsequent subtractive operations, and through digitalized approach work with a flexible supply chain. In addition, the AMtoFlex route will also be beneficial to tool performance; i.e. reducing the cycle times and improving
component quality. AMtoFlex contributes also to sustainable manufacturing through
significantly reducing the material waste, high material utilization in AMtoFlex route, beneficial for circular economy.

This project intends to design and develop a new test methodology for evaluation of power flowability in powder bed fusion (PBF) systems. The test apparatus will simulate powder flow in PBF machines and can be used for optimizing the powder layering behavior for potential utilization of alternative powder qualities. Additionally, this equipment creates opportunities for both powder producers and AM part manufacturers to minimize powder waste and maximize material utilization.

This project aims to contribute to the development of future ERP-systems. The project will explore how to offer work, redefine work roles and challenge companies to make use of advanced systems support and the technology within and around these. Overall, the project aims to contribute to the development of both the next generation of ERP-systems and a complementary change in the way firms see upon work organization, so that technology can support and meet the needs of the humans within organisations rather than enforcing structures upon them.
