- We are very pleased to present the proceedings of the 3rd International Conference on Material Engineering and Advanced Manufacturing Technology (MEAMT 2019) that was held successfully under the auspices of IASED in Shanghai, China, April 26-28, 2019.The theme of the conference - Material Engineering and Advanced Manufacturing Technology - is of key importance to the science and technology and a sustainable industrial development. This conference promotes valuable contacts between academia and industry and addresses both basic research and the societal/industrial technological needs within Material Engineering and Advanced Manufacturing Technology.In this era of Industry 4.0, we hope that the conference provided applicable data/information, addressed the issues in the societal/industrial transformation, and facilitated exchange within and between academia and industry.We want to express our gratitude to the program chairs and all members of the advisory, publicity, and technical committees for their valuable time and advices. We are grateful to the world renowned scientists who acted as keynote speakers at the conference.After a rigorous review process, where each paper was reviewed by at least two reviewers, high quality papers were accepted for presentation at this conference. We would like to thank all the reviewers for their time, effort, and for completing their assignments on time albeit tight deadlines.Many thanks to the authors for their valuable contributions and to the attendees for their active participation.Finally, a big thank to the organizers who made this conference to yet another unforgettable experience.Nader AsnafiProfessor of Mechanical Engineering, Örebro University, Sweden Editor of the proceedings of MEAMT 2019 One behalf of the conference committee.

3D Metal Printing from an Industrial Perspective : Product Examples, Production and Business Models
- 2018
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper summarizes the current position of 3D metal printing/additive manufacturing (henceforth called 3D metal printing) by the so-called Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) from an industrial perspective, particularly in Sweden.The new possibilities to design the part differently simply because the new shape can be produced and which provides benefits with respect to improved material utilization degree, reduced weight, size etc. are addressed in this paper.Tool & die production is an important phase in the development of new components/product models. This phase determines both the lead time (Time-To-Production/‐Market) and the size of the investments required to start the production. The lead time for the production of tools and dies for a new car body is currently about 12 months and needs to be reduced 40% by 2020. The lead time for injection molds for small and large series production must be reduced to 10 days and 4 weeks respectively. Lead time and cost-efficient metallic tools can be provided by 3D metal printing. This paper focuses on tools and dies for the manufacture of sheet metal & plastic components for the engineering and automotive industries.Digitalization through virtual tool & die design and optimization of the tool & die production combined with the PBF´s digital essence provides greater flexibility, better efficiency, tremendous speed, improved sustainability and increased global competitiveness.3D metal printing is expected to result in several changes in the supplier chain and generate new business models. The present paper describes some of the changes 3D metal printing has led to and is expected to result in within the engineering and automotive industry during the coming years.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper is focused on automotive stamping tools and dies and the impact of 3D metal printing and metals related 3D printing on design and production of such tools and dies. The purpose has been to find out the current industrial potential of 3D printing, as far lead time, costs, shapes, material usage, metal piece size, surface roughness, hardness, strength, and machinability are concerned. The business transformational impact of 3D printing is also addressed in this paper. The obtained results show that the lead time can be halved, the costs are somewhat higher, and the strength, hardness, surface roughness and machinability of the 3D printed metallic tools and dies are as good as those of the conventionally made. The maximum size of a metal piece that can be 3D printed today by Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) is in the best case 500 mm x 500 mm x 500 mm. 3D printing can also be used to make the pattern used to make the mold box in iron and steel casting. It is also possible to eliminate the casting pattern, since the mold box can be 3D printed directly. All this has started to have a large business impact and it is therefore of great significance to outline and execute an action plan almost immediately.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Tool & die production is an important phase in the development of new components/product models. This phase determines both the lead time (Time-To-Production/-Market) and the size of the investments required to start the production. This paper is focused on Powder Bed Fusion (PBF) and summarizes the current position of 3D metal printing/additive manufacturing (henceforth called 3D metal printing)of industrial tools & dies. It also exhibits the new possibilities to design the tool/die differently simply because the new shape can be produced. Different types of generative design concepts such as form synthesis, topology optimization and lattice and surface optimization are exemplified. The paper exemplifies business cases, the shorter lead times, the associated improved material utilization degree, reduced weight,etc. Low volume production by 3D metal printing is discussed. High volume production by 3D metal printing of manufacturing tools and dies is described. The paper exhibits some examples of digitalization through virtual tool & die design and optimization of the tool& die production and how it provides greater flexibility, better efficiency, tremendous speed, improved sustainability and increased global competitiveness. 3D metal printing is expected to result in several changes in the supplier chain and generate new business models.

3D Metal Printing of Production Tools & Dies
- 2018
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- 3D metal printing is of great interest for manufacturing of tools and dies for high volume production. It is possible to accomplish lead time reduction, tool and die weight saving, improved cycle time etc. The presentation deals primarily with Powder Bed Fusion as 3D printing method and describes 3D metal printing of tools & dies both scientifically and from an industrialization perspective. The presentation shows how far we have come in industrialization of 3D metal printing of tools & dies and what needs to be done to include 3D metal printing in the existing industrial systems and infrastructure.

3D Metal Printing of Stamping Tools & Dies and Injection Molds

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Design and production of tools, dies and molds are two important steps in the development of new components/products. These steps determine both the lead time (Time-To-Production/-Market) and the size of the investments required to start the production. The lead time for design and production of tools and dies for a new car body and injection molds for plastic components need to be reduced significantly. This paper deals with design, production and business models for 3D metal printing of stamping tools and dies for sheet metal components and injection molds for plastic components. The new possibilities provided by 3D metal printing, such as complex shapes, significant lead time reduction, improved material utilization, reduced weight, better cooling and shorter cycle time are addressed in this paper. Generative design including topology optimization and a couple of powder materials are tested and verified in industrial applications. The impact of 3D metal printing on the business models for the addressed tools/dies/molds are evaluated and described in this paper.
