OPTIPAM – Optimized production process for additive manufacturing

Project time: 2014 – 2017

Budget: 10 800 000 SEK

Funding: SIP Produktion2030

Purpose and goal

Project objectives were completed.

1)Proposals for design rules and educational materials were prepared and made available to industry
2)Knowledge of non destructive testing aws imcreased and knowledge transferred betweem industry anad academia production processes and additive manufacturing
3)Demonstrators were produced that show shortened lead times and weight reduction

Results and expected effects

The project demonstrated key points of Additive manufacturing such as weight reduction and simplified manufacturing of complex parts. Improved knowledge of non-destructive testing methods has provided insights on how to improve quality control. The results were disseminated in training activities and seminars at the participating companies and in activities with parties outside the project. The results and the educational activities combined will be used to promote and facilitate the implementation of additive manufacturing within Swedish manufacturing industry.

Approach and implementation

The activities were completed according to the plan with some delays. The collaboration
between the parties exceeded the expectations and initiated new sub projects.
There is a significant interest for educational activities and there is a need to package the results from the project in a manner that facilitates the implementation of additive manufacturing in Swedish industry.
A challenge lies in the scheduling of activities due to the many parties involved especially in the production and testing of samples, which led to delays in the project.

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.
