I denna rapport kommer en processen av hur en glasfiberprodukt kan designas med utgångspunkt av en likvärdig produkt gjord i stål genomföras. Arbetet är gjort från uppdrag utav Roxtec international AB och handlar om designarbetet för en glasfiberram.Arbetet har gjorts med samarbete med Roxtec och utgår ifrån deras idéer om att designa en ny produkt för att hjälpa dem att få in sin produkt i fler marknader. I detta fall handlar det om att ha en glasfiberram gjord med långa fibrer för att kunna installera Roxtecs produkter i glasfiberskepp och båtar utan att bryta vissa certifikationer. Ramen används för att hålla tätningsmoduler på plats. Dessa tätningsmoduler pressas ihop vilket ger ett stort tryck på ramen.En stor del av arbetet handlar också om att ta reda på vilka olika tillverkningsmetoder som finns för glasfiber och hur de funkar med de koncepten som slutligen tas fram.I de första delarna av rapporten finns bakgrundsinformation om Roxtec och sedan information om de olika tillverkningsmetoderna som finns. Sedan går det vidare med information om de olika metoderna som används för att ta fram resultatet. Efter det fortsätter rapporten genom att visa ett antal koncept som sedan dimensioneras mot kraven som sätts på produkten.I den sista delen av rapporten ges sedan en rekommendation utifrån resultaten till Roxtec om vilken tillverkningsmetod som är lämplig och även en slutgiltig design på en glasfiberram. / In this report, a process of how a fiberglass product can be designed on the basis of an equivalent product made of steel be performed. The work is done through an assignment from Roxtec International AB and is about the design work for a fiberglass frame.The work has been done with cooperation with Roxtec and assumes their ideas about designing a new product in order to help them to get their product into more markets. In this case it is about a fiberglass frame made with long fibers in order to install Roxtec's products in fiberglass ships and boats without breaking certain certifications. The frame is used to hold the sealing modules in place. The sealing modules are then compressed which puts a heavy pressure on the frame.A large part of the work is also about finding out what different manufacturing methods there are for fiberglass and how they work with the concepts that will be developed.The first parts of the report provides background information about Roxtec and then information on the different manufacturing methods available. Then it provides information on the various methods used to produce the result. The report continues by displaying a number of concepts which are then designed to the requirements set on the product.In the last part of the report is a recommendation is given based on the results to Roxtec about which manufacturing method is appropriate and also a final design on a fiberglass frame.

<p>Explosives and rocket fuel are just two prime examples of energetic materials, compounds that contain a combustible fuel and oxidizer within the same substance. Recent advances have enabled the construction of energetic materials through multiple variations of additive manufacturing, principally inkjet, direct-write, fused filament fabrication, electrospray deposition, and stereolithography. Many of the methods used for creating multiple layered objects (three-dimensional) from energetic materials involve the use of highly viscid materials.</p> <p>The focus of this work was to design a process capable of additively manufacturing three-dimensional objects from melt-castable energetic materials, which are known for their low viscosity. An in-depth printer design and fabrication procedure details the process requirements discovered through previous works, and the adaptations available and used to construct an additive manufacturing device capable of printing both energetic and non-energetic (also referred to as inert) melt-castable materials. Initial characterization of three proposed inert materials confirmed their relative similarity in rheological properties to melt-castable energetic materials and were used to test the printer’s performance.</p> <p>Preliminary tests show the constructed device is capable of additively manufacturing melt-castable materials reproducibly in individual layers, with some initial successful prints in three-dimensions, up to three layers. An initial characterization of the printer’s deposition characteristics additionally matches literature predictions. With the ability to print three-dimensional objects from melt-castable materials confirmed, future work will focus on the reproducibility of multi-layered objects and the refined formulation of melt-castable energetic materials.</p>

With the emergence of modern technologies in manufacturing processes, companies need to adapt themselves to these technologies to stay competitive. Additive Manufacturing is one of the upcoming technologies which will bring major changes to the manufacturing process. AM (Additive Manufacturing) offers flexibility in design, production size, customization, etc., Even though there are numerous advantages from the implementation of AM technologies less than 2% of the manufacturing industries use them for production. The purpose of the thesis was to study the impact of AM on manufacturing industries in 5-10 years and the barriers it is facing for widespread diffusion. Additionally, its impact on Sustainability aspects is also studied. A literature review was conducted to understand the current AM processes, their applications in different manufacturing sectors, their impact on business strategies, operations, and Product Life cycle. From the study, it was concluded that AM technologies are still in their maturing state and has a lot of uncertainties that it must overcome. The most notable barriers being implementation costs, limited materials, and protection of Intellectual property. The thesis also presents the projection for AM in 2030. AM is advantageous for Environmental and Economic sustainability with very little research on Societal sustainability.

Electroactive polymers are a class of materials capable of reallocating their shape in response to an electric field while also having the ability to harvest electrical energy when the materials are mechanically deformed. Electroactive polymers can therefore be used as sensors, actuators, and energy harvesters. The parameters for manufacturing flexible electroactive polymers are complex and rate limiting due to number of steps, their necessity, and time intensity of each step. Successful additive manufacturing processes for electroactive polymers will allow for scalability and flexibility beyond current limitations, advancing the field, opening additional manufacturing possibilities, and increasing output. The goal for this research was to use additive manufacturing techniques to print conductive and dielectric substrates for building flexible circuits and sensors. Printing flexible conductive layers and substrates together allows for added creativity in design and application.

Bewehrter Beton ist das heutzutage am meisten verwendete Baumaterial. Es ist universell und preiswert nahezu überall auf der Welt herstellbar. Damit einhergehen allerdings ein hoher CO2-Ausstoß und ein beträchtlicher Verbrauch an natürlichen Ressourcen. Im DFG-Schwerpunktprogramm 1542 wurden deshalb verschiedenste Ansätze erforscht, wie das Material effizienter eingesetzt und damit der Betonbau zukunftsfähig gemacht werden kann.

It can be produced universally and cheaply almost anywhere in the world. However, this is accompanied by high CO2 emissions and considerable consumption of natural resources. In the DFG Priority Programme 1542, a wide variety of approaches were therefore investigated to find out how the material can be used more efficiently and thus how concrete construction can be made fit for the future.

Varje gång en ny byggnad inreds eller renoveras behöver stora, tunga och otympliga föremål som skåp, diskhoar, handfat, fläktar med mera installeras i kök och badrum. Det finns olika system för att montera dessa men det kan ofta vara en komplicerad process. 2Xarm är ett verktyg som gör kök- och badrumsinstallationer säkert och smidigt. Skåp, hyllor och annat lyfts med verktyget för att sedan justeras och hållas på plats där de ska monteras. I nuläget är verktyget för dyrt att tillverka för att kunna säljas med tillräckligt god marginal. Därför var syftet med detta arbete att minska verktygets tillverkningskostnad utan att förändra dess patenterade design och funktion. Arbetet har utförts med hjälp av datorstödd modellering och via informationssökning. En fysisk prototyp lånades och modellerades av. Sedan har tillverkningsmetoder och materialval undersökts varpå tre alternativa konstruktionslösningar togs fram. Dessa anses dock inte ha minskat tillverknigskostnaden nämnvärt. Den huvudsakliga slutsatsen är att verktygets tillverkningskostnad inte gick att minska nämnvärt utan att förändra dess funktionalitet och patenterad design. Alternativt hade även en större produktionsvolym varit en effektiv metod att minska enhetskostnaden. / The 2Xarm tool simplifies kitchen and bathroom installations by securely lifting and installing heavy objects like cabinets and sinks. However, its current manufacturing cost is too high to sell the tool at sufficient profit margains. This report aimed to identify cost-saving measures while preserving the tool’s patented design and functionality. Using computer-aided modeling and research, we analyzed a physical prototype, explored different manufacturing methods, and evaluated material choices. These efforts resulted in three alternative design solutions that aimed to simplify the manufacturing and assembly process. However, these changes ultimately did not significantly reduce the manufacturing cost. In conclusion, achieving substantial cost reduction for the tool without compromising its design and functionality proved difficult. Alternatively, increasing production volume could be an effective approach to lower the unit cost.

The press-section of a paper machine holds several different types of press rolls. One of the many press roll variants is the Valmet produced press roll, ViscoNip. This press roll utilizes an extended nip in order to increase the amount of water removed. The extended press nip in ViscoNip is special since it is controllable by a pressurized polyurethane press shoe. The press shoe runs through the body of the press roll. Due to the limits of the current production process, new manufacturing methods and construction solutions are needed. In cooperation with another thesis, the current design and manufacturing process was reviewed and a plan intended to improve the current solution was formulated. The plan was to, by working together in a project, perform a product development process intended to create concepts able to utilize new methods of manufacturing. By using established methods of concept generation, such as Brainwriting 6-3-5, 11 concepts were created. Some of these concepts involved a redesign of the press shoe, leading to a need for construction and performance analysis. The other thesis focusing on the structural and mechanical performance evaluation of the new concepts. The work of this thesis focusing on researching new possible and available manufacturing solutions. The new concepts were analyzed with new and possible manufacturing methods to fulfill all the requirements. With all data, a document was created and market research was made to get feedback from more knowledgeable in the subject. Moreover, sequence analysis between the concepts with the current and those new manufacturing methods was made to further explain which manufacturing method that could solve the main problem. All in all, one different redesigned concept was deemed as having potential for further development. The current solution was also deemed as having potential for future development but only when new manufacturing methods or techniques were considered.

With a more global market, manufacturing companies have to increase their focus on cost management to stay competitive. With new technologies available, new methods of evaluating concepts and ideas arise. Among these are simulation tools. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate how simulation tools can be integrated into the product development process to improve target costing. To achieve this purpose, a case study was conducted at a large manufacturing company, where a simulation tool was used. It was found that cost and manufacturing simulation tools can be used for target costing, negotiation with suppliers, as well as a helpful tool for design methods such as design for manufacturing and design to cost. Furthermore, cross-functional teams and good collaboration are a postulate for successful implementation and utilization of simulation tools in the product development process. The proposition is therefore that large manufacturing companies with advantage should implement cost and manufacturing simulation tools into their product development process to improve target costing. / Med en mer global marknad måste tillverkningsföretag öka sitt fokus på kostnadshantering för att förbli konkurrenskraftiga. Med ny teknik tillgänglig uppstår nya metoder för att utvärdera koncept och idéer. Bland dessa finns simuleringsverktyg. Syftet med denna studie är därför att undersöka hur simuleringsverktyg kan integreras i produktutvecklingsprocessen för att förbättra arbetet med målkostnader. För att uppnå detta syfte genomfördes en fallstudie på ett stort tillverkningsföretag där ett simuleringsverktyg användes. Det upptäcktes att kostnads- och tillverkningssimuleringsverktyg kan användas för målkostnadsberäkning, förhandlingar med leverantörer, samt att det kan vara ett användbart verktyg för designmetoder såsom design for manufacturing och design to cost. Vidare är tvärfunktionella team och gott samarbete en förutsättning för en framgångsrik implementering och användning av simuleringsverktyg i produktutvecklingsprocessen. Därför bör stora tillverkningsföretag med fördel implementera kostnads- och tillverkningssimuleringsverktyg i sin produktutvecklingsprocess för att förbättraarbetet med målkostnader.
