A new assignment allocated to Fredriksons Verkstads AB involved a number of welding challenges. “A good partnership with University West and suppliers meant that we could focus on the right welding technology and ventured to invest in new equipment and a new factory,” s...
Technological developments and digitalisation are increasingly shaping society and also the world of education. A new thesis from University West provides a description of how teaching with social robots can be done and how the role of the teacher is affected, making th...
University West is admitting 932 new international students for autumn 2023. This is a record increase of over 50 percent compared to last year and is the second largest increase in Sweden.
The welding equipment runs at high pressure when the university's research engineers weld field stoves at the Production Technology Centre. Industrial companies in the region sponsor the material and this spring around 90 stoves will be sent to Ukraine. “It feels good t...
Within a few years, the manufacturing industry will be able to skip time-consuming programming every time a new product goes into production. Mattias Bennulf’s research brings brand new opportunities for industries to rapidly transform their automated production process...
4,468 international master's students want to study at University West in the fall of 2023. This is a new record number and an increase of over 20 percent compared to last year’s numbers.
Successful research on additive manufacturing using laser and wire will now be further developed in the new SESAM project. In collaboration with five industrial partners, researchers at University West will fine-tune parts of the technology for duplex stainless steel, a...
Linda developing materials for future aero engine manufacturing lighter components, less material and lower costs. These are just some of the benefits that the aerospace industry will gain if they succeed in replacing conventional manufacturing techniques with powder be...
Using powder bed-based additive manufacturing (AM) to build hydrogen-powered space rocket components could save a great deal of material, time and money. In the H2RAM* research project, due to start at the end of the year, University West researchers and GKN Aerospace p...
A new simulation model for laser-based additive manufacturing (AM) with filler wire provides an understanding of how the manufacturing process for titanium aerospace components could be made more efficient and more robust. The model can also be used for other metals and...
Last week, around 30 of the participants in the industrial graduate school Smart Industry Sweden met to network and discuss current issues. The autumn seminar was held this time at University West in Trollhättan and included a study visit to the aircraft and space engin...
“Today our life has significantly improved thanks to laser technology. This is the reason why I am interested in further developing this technology and want to contribute with my small brick," says Antonio Ancona, new Professor of Automation technology with focus on con...
The collaboration with three African partner universities broadens University West’s international collaboration in education and research. “Their specialist areas match University West’s profile in production technology in a good way. It opens up new opportunities for...
Your Future Career Day 2022, a pilot project aiming to bring technology companies and engineering students together, attracted over 100 participants to the Innovatum District last week. Now there are plans to let the event grow until next year.
In just four years, researchers at University West have developed additive manufacturing with laser and wire for a completely new material: duplex stainless steel. The technology has been successfully tested for manufacturing of a component to Alfa Laval. Within a few y...
