Feasibility studies towards sustainable manufacturing

The projects SINDRI, OCEAN-LSAM, and SPARSAM share a common focus on sustainable manufacturing and a circular economy, utilizing additive manufacturing as an enabler. However, they approach the challenges through distinct strategies, each with its own unique approach.

Additive Manufacturing (AM) has been around for decades without any significant disruptive impact on the supply chain on a larger system level. Currently, the increasing maturity of additive manufacturing (AM) is facilitating its transition from being primarily used as a tool for 3D visualization and prototyping to becoming a viable option for large-scale industrial manufacturing of components and products.

The projects SINDRI, OCEAN-LSAM and SPARSAM ask questions such as:

  • How is AM really affecting the supply chain and distribution of services and goods?
  • Can a global network of micro-factories be a solution for achieving a circular economy, where goods are produced using local, recycled material waste streams?
  • AM is known for enabling manufacturing of amazing parts, but can we further increase the manufacturing speed by new and innovative strategies?

Three projects focusing on sustainability

In January 2023, the Application Center for Additive Manufacturing arranged an exclusive webinar for its Center partners, where the projects SINDRI, OCEAN-LSAM and SPARSAM were presented in-depth. Their presentations are now publicly available.
