Sweden was once an early adopter of additive manufacturing and now has class leading AM suppliers. Additive manufacturing has the potential to make Swedish industries competitive and leading through high-value manufacturing that will create growth, uniqueness, jobs, and export opportunities. The Arena gives participating companies and research organisations an opportunity to take part in the effort to make this to be a reality.

The Arena offers

  • A strong network in additive manufacturing of metals.
  • A platform to monitor and contribute to the development of technology and knowledge.
  • Easy access to test and demo platforms in additive manufacturing of metals.
  • Support in the industrialisation of additive manufacturing of metals.

The Arena highlights focus areas as

  • Quality considerations in additive manufacturing.
  • From prototyping to industrial production.
  • Correlation between raw material and final properties.
  • Qualification of new alloys and alloy development.
  • Remanufacturing applications.
