A national platform that enables full use of additive manufacturing for sustainable materials science.
WISE additive is a national research infrastructure for additive manufacturing, consisting of three nodes located at Uppsala university, Chalmers University of Technology, and Linköping university. It is funded by the Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability (WISE), which through its scheme for research technology platforms (RTPs) provides funding for investment in new equipment, creating the basis for the infrastructure. Uppsala university acts as the host for WISE additive.
More on WISE additive
The WISE additive platform
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.
The platform is a joint activity between Uppsala University, Chalmers University of Technology, and Linköping University. At Uppsala, the focus is on material development for and through AM, as well as powder production, recyclability in AM, and non-destructive structural analysis. At Chalmers, the focus is on the development and industrial implementation of sustainable multi-functional metal-metal and metal-ceramic components. At Linköping, the focus is on printing advanced electronic materials and devices. WISE additive will facilitate development and introduction of sustainable materials into Swedish research and industry.
