AM research at Ångström
At the Faculty of science and technology at Uppsala university, there are a number of different research projects running where additive manufacturing is a major part of the research theme. These projects are mainly conducted at the:
- Departments of Chemistry - Ångström
- Department of Materials Science and Engineering
- Department of Physics and Astronomy
The research ranges from materials design to devlopment of new cutting edge AM equipment. Also the applications have a wide range: from life sciences to the metal industry.
The research projects vary a lot in size, from small projects with no external funding to large competence centres with many nodes, collaborators, and extensive external funding.
AM-related research projects with own homepages
WISE Additive
WISE Additive is a national platform for additive manufacturing (AM), the most resource-efficient manufacturing technology enabling production of complex-shape multi-functional components, not possible to produce using conventional manufacturing.

AM4LIFE
Additive Manufacturing for the Life Sciences is a VINNOVA Competence Centre that gathers more than 20 dynamic partners in academia, industry and the public sector to support competence development in Additive Manufacturing for the Life Sciences.
