Training: Creating more sustainable products using additive manufacturing.

Developing new products is not just about innovation—it’s about impact. Circularity and sustainability are key factors in modern manufacturing, and making the right choices isn’t always easy. That’s why Cradlenet have teamed up with AMEXCI to guide you through:

🔍 How to measure circularity and sustainability in Additive Manufacturing

🌱 Where we stand today in circular and sustainable AM practices

♻️ How to use AM effectively through circular economy principles

Training objectives

At the end of course you will:

  • Have a basic understanding of some sustainability related concepts like carbon footprint, LCA and circular economy

  • Understand the basics of LCA of AM parts: what to keep in mind when you look at such information.

  • Have a view on where AM could be applied to contribute towards more circular, sustainable and resilient products.

  • Minimizing environmental impact when designing a part for AM

Agenda

The training consists of a half-day online training followed by a full-day onsite training at AMEXCI’s facility in Örebro.

Part 1: Online introduction (half a day)

  • Introduction to AMEXCI & Cradlenet

  • Why circularity and sustainability are important

  • Circularity and sustainability concepts

  • Introduction to Additive Manufacturing

Part 2: At AMEXCI in Örebro (1 day)

  • AM, circularity and sustainability – where are we?

  • LCA of AM: how it works, examples, tools available, comparisons between different tools, limitations, how to compare to conventional manufacturing

  • AM, circularity and sustainability by industry sector

  • Current shortcomings and how they can be improved

  • Additive manufacturing and circular economy, where are the sweet spots?

  • Where can AM be useful in terms of circular economy

  • What are the other advantages of AM in terms of creating more sustainable products

  • How to design for more sustainable products

  • Simple rules when designing for AM to minimize waste and energy usage

  • Conclusion

Cost

16 000 SEK excl. VAT per participant.

In association with the theme of sustainability, you get 1 000 SEK off the cost per person if you travel to Örebro in a more sustainable way (train, bus, or bicycle).

When

We are currently taking registrations of interest. Once we have a sufficient number of participants, we will reach out to the people who have preregistered to propose a date. The people who have preregistered will have priority in selecting the desired training dates. Training is probably taking place in the first half of May 2025.
