This autumn has been remarkable on multiple fronts. I am delighted to announce the continued growth of the Application Center for Additive Manufacturing. As of November 1st, Sandvik Coromant AB has joined the Center, enhancing our consortium with their extensive competence and knowledge in machining metallic materials.
During the past months, numerous research projects addressing various facets of additive manufacturing have been approved, underscoring their crucial significance. These projects provide us, along with our industrial partners, with the opportunity to acquire new insights and expedite the technology's adoption, irrespective of organisational size or specific technological focus.
Furthermore, preparations for the fourth Additive Intelligence 4.0 Conference are underway, and I am eagerly anticipating the event. We have secured engaging speakers and exhibitors who will share valuable insights and knowledge on additive manufacturing. I can assure you that this year's conference will feature exciting activities. If you haven't registered yet, I encourage you to do so.
In conclusion, I would like to express my gratitude to all the companies that have invested their time in the 3D-Action project by participating in seminars, events, webinars, and feasibility studies. Although there are still a few weeks to go, I would also like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

| "Courage is essential. Success isn't guaranteed, but without trying, you'll never find out," says Robert Aronsson, Construction Manager at Totech, reflecting on the subject of 3D printing. In 2023, the company took a bold step by printing its first hydraulic block in stainless steel. This achievement was realized as part of the recently concluded 3D-Action project, coordinated by RISE. |
