  • Swerea IVF and Industry in Closer Collaboration Regarding Additive Manufacturing
    Press release Date: 6 February 2018, Mats Lundin, CEO, Swerea IVF Swerea IVF and industry in closer collaboration regarding additive manufacturing Swerea IVF will start a new production line for additive manufacturing of metallic materials with focus on selective laser melting (SLM) in close collaboration with industry and universities. The partnership is unique as it brings together parties along the whole value chain and also covers working with environment and health issues. Additive manufacturing and digitalisation are two strategic areas that will affect how the manufacturing industry can adapt to quicker market changes and hence reduce the time-to- market of new products, and in that way increase their competitiveness. - Additive manufacturing is a fast growing area and we are pleased to be able to set up this production line together with a large industrial group, and in that way Fakta Swerea Swerea-koncernen skapar, förädlar och förmedlar forskningsresultat inom områdena material-, produktions- och produktutveckling. Målet är att skapa affärsmässig nytta för medlemmar och övriga kunder och att stärka konkurrens- och innovationsförmågan hos näringslivet i Sverige. Koncernen har ca 550 medarbetare och omsätter 670 Mkr/år. Verksamheten bedrivs i fem forskningsinstitut (Swerea IVF, Swerea KIMAB, Swerea MEFOS, Swerea SICOMP och Swerea SWECAST). Verksamhet finns i Stockholm, Jönköping, Luleå, Mölndal, Piteå, Borlänge, Eskilstuna, Linköping, Trollhättan, Olofström och Oslo, samt i Brest och St Etienne i Frankrike. contribute to the industrialization of additive manufacturing in Sweden, says Mats Lundin, CEO, Swerea IVF. This will enable our partners to test and realize their ideas and thoughts, together with our experts in the area.

  • New Bio-Based Lightweight Material Is Unveiled
    Pressrelease Date: 2015-10-21, Swerea SICOMP Du kan välja om du vill använda en bild till ditt pressmeddelande eller inte. Använder du bild ska denna hålla måtten: 960x540 pixlar Bild placeras alltid över rubrik, men under datum. New bio-based lightweight material is unveiled. The lightweight, fuel-efficient car of the future can be made using materials from Swedish forests. The research institutes Innventia and Swerea SICOMP have worked together in unique cooperation to develop the first carbon-fibre composite ‘demonstrator’ from softwood lignin. The investments of recent years in test beds and R&D infrastructures to realise the vision of new lightweight forest materials are now starting to pay dividends. The research institutes Innventia and Swerea SICOMP are both part of RISE, Research Institutes of Sweden, and are the first in the world to unveil a composite demonstrator based on 100 percent softwood lignin. Carbon fibre composites are strong and light, with many applications. Today, demand is mainly limited by the high cost. As a result, they are currently used primarily in products where performance is more important than price. By introducing cost-effective lignin-based carbon fibre, the material could also be used in ‘normal’ cars and other bulk products. Lighter cars would mean Fact Swerea The Swerea Group creates, refines and disseminates research results within materials sciences, process technology and product engineering. The objective is to create business benefit for members and customers, and to strengthen the capacity for competition and innovation in the Swedish economy. The Swerea Group has about 550 employees and an annual turnover of MSEK 680.

  • SLM Solutions and Swerea IVF Start New Industrial Project
    Close collaboration with 10 partners from industry and research SLM Solutions and Swerea IVF Start New Industrial Project Lübeck, February 27, 2018. SLM Solutions Group AG is creating a new industrial project together with the Swedish research institute Swerea IVF. In total, ten different companies and research institutions are participating in this unique project to develop a new production line for additive manufacturing of metallic materials with a focus on selective laser melting. The partners are working along the entire value chain and also are dealing with environmental and health topics. Swerea Group is a Swedish research group for industrial renewal and sustainable development. Swerea provides research results in the fields of materials science, manufacturing technology and product development. The Group is a key part of the Swedish innovation system and works both nationally and internationally with scientific institutions, industry and society in general. The goal of Swerea is to create competitive industry advantages as well as more innovation and profitability in a sustainable society with applied research. SLM Solutions Group AG, a leading provider of metal-based additive manufacturing technology, and Swerea IVF, Swedish research institute for product, process and production development, have launched a new industrial project. The project is the first of its kind and brings 10 globally operating partners from different industries together. Taking into account new digital possibilities in the industry, a production line for additive manufacturing will be developed jointly to shorten the time to market of new products and further improve competitiveness in this way. In this context, Swerea IVF is expanding its production capacity with an additional machine of the SLM Solutions Group AG, a powerful SLM®280 2.0, which has a construction space size of 280 x 280 x 365 mm³ and patented multi-beam technology with up to 2x 700 W laser performance.
