The purpose of the project w as to create long-term cooperation betw een Chalmers, Sw erea IVF and Modul-System. An important part goalobjective w as to disseminate know ledge developed in MATFLEX in a w ider circle, especially at Chalmers students and to staff at the participating company Modul-System.
The goals have been met, as know ledge is transferred and cooperation is progressing
The project has delivered the follow ing results
In addition, staff from the Modul system have participated in a sheetmaking course, where some parts of the material w ere taken from a new ly acquired Masters course at Chalmers (via another project in the Education section of Production 2030).
Technology dissemination of the project at Elmia Subcontractor 2016, Chalmers Internships, and lectures on Roll Forming Colloquium in Darmstadt.
The project manager at MATFLEX, Boel Wadman, has been stationed at the Chalmers Institute for Materials and Manufacturing Technology for a total of 20 days during the project period and has w orked there and elsewhere to transfer know ledge from the project to staff and students at Chalmers, mainly w ithin her field of specialization sheet metal forming. Know ledge transfer has taken place through w ork in the Institutional Council, supervision of project w orkers, development of industrial courses, and lectures at Chalmers, Elmia and at conferences.

With globalization and other megatrends as demographic changes and climate change, more knowledge is needed regarding production in an international perspective. PADOK Study Visit in India 2016 have given an increased knowledge regarding how production is conducted in India, some of the challenges producing companies in that region is facing and how Swedish companies interested in investing in production in India could act to establish themselves in the region.

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.
