Road-map for research and innovation to industrialize
additive manufacturing of metals in Sweden (RAMP-UP)
Scope: Create two demonstrators that clearly illustrates the potential of a
full digitalisation of the production flow for additive manufacturing.
Digitalisation of the production flow is a
prerequisite for additive manufacturing [DINA]
Swedish Arena for Additive Manufacturing of Metals
Each ”process” is (almost) already developed and the task is to develop
and demonstrate the integration of data / information transfer and storage.
