WISE Additive is a national research infrastructure 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. WISE Additive is funded by the Wallenberg Initiative Materials Science for Sustainability.


More on WISE Additive

The infrastructure supports both research and education, enabling development of novel materials, sustainable manufacturing processes, and high-performance components.
The infrastructure consists of three nodes:
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. And at Linköping, the focus is on printing advanced electronic materials and devices.

Additive Manufacturing at LiU

About us

The Täppan Cleanroom at Campus Norrköping will serve as the central hub for additive manufacturing research and development at LiU, with a focus on printing advanced electronic materials and devices. This open research infrastructure offers unique possibilities to develop, pattern, and characterize the next generation of soft functional materials and electronic devices.

Equipment

Within WISE Additive the following equipment will be funded and installed at LiU, and thus made accessible through the national research infrastructure:
  • - Electrohydrodynamic Jet Printing
    - Extrusion-based 3D (bio-)printer
    - Nanoimprint lithography
Users of equipment funded by WISE are required to acknowledge the WISE-funding.
