PODFAM – industry-specific research on powder bed fusion additive manufacturing of metal

Powder bed fusion additive manufacturing of metal (PBF-AM) is an important research area for the manufacturing industry. This form of additive manufacturing makes it possible to manufacture components with complex geometries in a more efficient way. Among other applications of interest are components for gas turbines and aircraft engines.

Replab

The research project Replab focus on additive manufacturing technologies (AM) for the field of re-manufacturing and repair to develop an economic, environmental and social long-term sustainable development.

SpaceLab

The aim of the project is to strengthen the regional business community through strategic cooperation in additive manufacturing between the space industry and the University West.

TAPERTECH: Tailoring of high performance parts through arc and laser additive manufacturing technologies

Additive Manufacturing (AM) of functional components, including complex structures challenging to manufacture by conventional methods (material removal), is a reality in progress. AM with metal deposition has gained interest beyond aerospace applications, by using Laser and Arc welding processes as driving force.

TiCASE - Titanium Castings for Engine Structures

GKN Aerospace, Swerea SWECAST and University West in Sweden will work together with the German titanium casting supplier ARCONIC Bestwig with the target of improving the design of engine structures for improved castability
