Danish project aims to make repair a genuine alternative to new production in industry
Danish project aims to make repair a genuine alternative to new production in industry
Today, many Danish manufacturing companies scrap worn components and production equipment, even though parts of them still have value. This costs time, money, and materials—and at the same time increases the climate footprint.
This is what the project Circularity in the Production Hall – Transition your production to circularity aims to challenge. The project examines and demonstrates how hybrid manufacturing can give components and production equipment new life instead of being discarded.
In the project’s first completed test programme, the research and innovation centre DAMRC has shown that it is technically possible to repair worn gears by combining additive and subtractive processes—instead of producing new ones.
From scrap to functional component
In the test, wear was simulated by removing the teeth from a gear. New material was then built up using welding-based additive manufacturing, after which the teeth were machined to the correct shape and tolerances.
The aim is not only to show that repair is possible, but to investigate whether repaired components can function in practice and meet industrial requirements.
Aarhus University has tested the repaired gears and compared their mechanical properties with traditionally manufactured gears. At the same time, Dansk AM Hub has used its CO₂ calculation tool to analyse the climate and resource consumption of the repairs compared with new production.
What does this mean for manufacturing companies?
If repair and remanufacturing can be used more systematically in industry, there is significant potential—especially for small and medium-sized manufacturing companies:
- Less material waste and lower resource consumption
- Shorter lead times for critical components
- Less dependence on new raw materials
- Extended service life of existing equipment
- Potential for cost savings
The project therefore addresses competitiveness, security of supply, and the green transition—without companies necessarily having to invest in entirely new production equipment.
Circularity directly in the production hall
Circularity in the Production Hall aims to investigate how far circular solutions can be implemented directly in existing production environments. The project looks not only at repairing worn parts, but also at handling misproduced items, material savings, and subsequent scaling up to larger components and robot-based production.
The project is carried out by DAMRC, Dansk AM Hub, and Aarhus University with support from the Danish Industry Foundation and runs until 2028. The first test results mark an important step towards making repair and remanufacturing a more integrated part of the industry of the future.

Tech Tour brought companies together around 3D printing: Strong interest and sharp questions across the country
How do other companies actually use 3D printing in practice? And when does it make sense—and when does it not?
These were some of the recurring questions when Dansk AM Hub went on a Tech Tour in March, with stops in Taastrup, Odense, Aalborg and Kolding.
Across all four events, there was strong interest in getting closer to the technology. Companies, professionals and curious participants met to gain a more concrete and honest insight into Additive Manufacturing (AM)—not through slides, but through dialogue, cases and physical examples.
3D printing at eye level
Instead of presentations and PowerPoints, the focus was on concrete cases, physical parts and direct dialogue. Participants could see, touch and ask questions of the companies and specialists who work with 3D printing on a daily basis.
The conversations ranged widely—from materials and design to production, business cases and skills needs. What can the technology do? When does it create value? And when does it not?
Those very questions were the focal point of the dialogue across all stops.
Local ecosystems in play
The Tech Tour took participants to a number of strong local hosts and production environments—from Prototal in Taastrup to FORCE Technology at Lindø Shipyard, Create it REAL in Aalborg and MDT in Kolding.
Each stop had its own character, but common to them all were open dialogue, cross-networking and the opportunity to meet companies, technology suppliers and education stakeholders.
Networking, knowledge and new perspectives
In addition to insight into the technology, the days offered ample opportunity to network, exchange ideas and share experiences with other companies that are either already working with 3D printing or are curious about it.
For many participants, it was not about finding one solution, but about gaining a better understanding of the possibilities and a stronger basis for future decisions.
Thank you for this time
A big thank you to hosts, companies, partners and participants for contributing knowledge, experience and great questions.
The Tech Tour is over for this round—but the work to bring 3D printing closer to Danish industry continues.

LEGO does not play around with production – they build it smarter
The LEGO Group
LEGO does not play around with production – they build it smarter
When play becomes an innovation strategy
The LEGO Group uses 3D printing technology to experiment with new product forms and engage users in the innovation process. A 3D-printed duck sets the scene for greater flexibility, faster development, and a closer connection with fans of all ages, integrating technological innovation into LEGO’s long-term product strategy. This is not about toys – but about maintaining speed and quality in an extremely complex production setup.
The case – overview and context
Innovation rarely starts with ready-made answers. It starts with questions and curiosity. Just like play. For a brand like The LEGO Group, where creativity, imagination, and play have always been at the core, technological innovation is not just a tool – it is a strategic component of future product development.
Last year, they launched their first 3D-printed element, a replica of their iconic wooden duck. It was sold for a limited period and formed part of a larger pilot project at The LEGO Group, aimed at collecting feedback from fans that can inspire future creations.
In a global market where consumer expectations are rising and flexibility is a competitive parameter, LEGO’s use of AM shows how technology can be integrated into a long-term innovation strategy – not only to optimise production, but to strengthen customer relationships, test new concepts, and increase the value of play as both product and experience. The case shows how additive manufacturing can be a strategic tool – long before production begins.
Results of the programme with Dansk AM Hub
- Greater design possibilities
- Co-creation as a strategic growth driver
- Flexibility in innovation and production
Value and impact for the company
Dansk AM Hub has collaborated with The LEGO Group for many years, contributing inspiration and knowledge on exploring additive manufacturing as an innovation tool – long before the technology was to be scaled in production. The role has been to qualify the dialogue on where and how additive manufacturing creates the most value in an extremely complex and mature manufacturing company.
Through insight into both the technology’s opportunities and limitations, we helped frame experiments that not only tested new product forms, but also new ways of engaging users and collecting feedback. The focus was not on volume, but on learning, speed, and flexibility – and on using 3D printing as a strategic tool in the early innovation phase.
Dansk AM Hub’s role was therefore to support LEGO in using additive manufacturing as part of a long-term innovation strategy, where technology is used to reduce uncertainty, strengthen customer insight, and create a better basis for decision-making before investments become substantial.
Is your production setup a limitation – or a strength?
And are there new opportunities?
From challenge to advantage
At The LEGO Group, 3D printing technology has been used since the 1990s, but this is the first time they have launched a consumer product produced exclusively using Additive Manufacturing. The replica has particularly helped The LEGO Group experiment with moving functions, as the 3D-printed duck has a movable beak.
“We are very excited about the opportunities that additive manufacturing gives us, and we look forward to hearing what our fans say. We will use their feedback to help shape future innovation as we continue to push the boundaries of 3D printing technology,” says Ronen Hadar, Head of The LEGO Group’s Additive Design & Manufacturing team.
In combination with 3D printing, they use injection moulding technology at their factories to produce bricks. This combination means that the bricks can be produced faster, there is greater flexibility, and they can produce more varied units in smaller quantities, giving The LEGO Group the opportunity for increased product development and innovation.
About the company

The LEGO Group is a world-leading, family-owned toy company known for the iconic LEGO bricks.
Learning and insights
The case demonstrates how innovation can start long before production, and how technology can be used as a strategic tool for learning, experimentation, and customer involvement. Here, additive manufacturing is not about volume, but about speed, flexibility, and insight.
The key learning is that innovation should not always be measured by short-term ROI. By using new technologies to test ideas, involve customers, and explore new forms of value, companies can reduce risk in later decisions. The case underlines that competitive advantage is often created where you dare to play, experiment, and learn – before the market demands it.

Advansor: From overlooked component to competitive advantage
Advansor
From overlooked component to competitive advantage
A small redesign with a major impact on operations and CO₂
A small redesign of an overlooked component created major gains. With additive manufacturing, Dansk AM Hub and Advansor rethought the design from the inside out, reduced complexity and energy loss, and strengthened the business, the climate impact, and supply security. The case shows how new technology can strengthen both product and business, and that small changes can have a significant impact at scale globally.
The case – overview and context
Small components rarely draw much attention. They work. They last. And precisely for that reason, they are rarely challenged. Yet in industry, significant business and climate gains are often hidden in what has been allowed to be “good enough” for too long.
At Advansor, a key component in a CO₂ refrigeration system was taken up for review. Not because it failed—but because over time it had been allowed to be “good enough”. Together with Dansk AM Hub, the component was rethought from the ground up with a clear business objective: less complexity, better flow, and a more robust supply. The case is interesting because it shows how a narrowly focused technical intervention can improve performance, operations, and sustainability—without changing the entire system.
Results from programmes with Dansk AM Hub
- Material reduction: From 17 to 3 parts
- Less material saves money
- Better performance and flow
- More robust supply
Value and impact for the company
Dansk AM Hub played a decisive role in the process by asking the critical questions from both a technological and commercial perspective. Early on, we shifted the focus from “how do we optimise what already exists?” to “should it even look like this?”
As a catalyst and sparring partner, we helped translate the possibilities of 3D printing into concrete business value for Advansor, which today has a stronger product that wastes less energy and therefore reduces a hidden operational loss. The result is therefore a business gain, a climate benefit, and a supply advantage.
Is your production setup a limitation—or a strength?
And are there new opportunities?
From challenge to advantage
The starting point was not an acute problem, but a realisation: Small losses in flow and efficiency recurred—and cost energy, money, and performance over time. During CO₂ cooling, Advansor’s developers experienced pressure drops in the systems due to sharp bends in the pipes. A pressure drop that led to less efficient cooling and thus wasted energy.
With additive manufacturing, it became possible to rethink and redesign the component from the inside out and reduce complexity, so that 17 separate parts are now consolidated into just three—something traditional manufacturing methods simply do not allow. This is not about technology for technology’s sake, but about getting more out of the same system, and it changed the premise for what the component could deliver.
“We had the opportunity to optimise where it really matters—inside the component. With 3D printing, it has been possible to produce pipes that are both compact, more aerodynamically shaped internally, and easier to integrate into Advansor’s machines. I honestly did not think it was an option until we took part in a programme with Dansk AM Hub,” says Kenneth B. Madsen, CTO at Advansor.
In practice, the redesign meant that Advansor reduced energy loss in their refrigeration systems by one percent. As the component is small, that figure may seem easy to overlook, but it actually represents savings of 70,000 kWh per year—just under 20,000 kg of CO₂ per year. Or the emissions from driving a car almost four times around the world.

Advansor operates primarily within the refrigeration industry and is a leading manufacturer of sustainable, CO2-based refrigeration and heating systems. They specialise in energy-efficient climate refrigeration solutions for, among others, supermarkets and industry, with a strong focus on the green transition by using natural refrigerants.
Learning and insights
The case shows how additive manufacturing—when applied effectively—can eliminate hidden energy drains and make “well-functioning” solutions noticeably better. Less material saves money, fewer parts make supply more robust, and optimised flow and functionality deliver better performance.

The future of construction with 3D printing and fungi
I AM MSHRM
The future of construction with 3D printing and fungi
A pioneering development project rethinking the construction industry through circular materials and additive manufacturing
I AM MSHRM is an ambitious research and development project created in collaboration between Dansk AM Hub, BIG – Bjarke Ingels Group and a range of specialised partners. The project demonstrates how 3D printing and bio-based materials such as mycelium can reduce waste, CO2, and resource consumption in construction.
The result is a modular, demountable building system consisting of 3D-printed frames made from recycled plastic, filled with cultivated fungal mycelium. The system can be assembled, disassembled, reused, or composted—and represents a new approach to circular and flexible construction.
The challenge
The construction industry accounts for a significant share of global CO2 emissions and is also characterised by substantial material waste and a low level of innovation. At the same time, cities are growing, and unused urban spaces and temporary needs for flexible buildings are emerging.
The challenge is to create new building solutions that reduce both waste and CO2—while also being economically and practically viable.
The solution
I AM MSHRM introduces a new building system based on additive manufacturing (3D printing) and biogenic materials.
The system consists of:
- 3D-printed frames made from recycled plastic
- Mycelium infill (fungal roots) that functions as an insulating and structural material
- Modular elements that can be assembled into arches and complete structures
The building can easily be dismantled, moved, and reassembled—or enter a biological cycle after use.
Key points
- Up to 80% lower CO2 emissions than traditional construction methods
- Modular and scalable building system
- Designed for reuse, disassembly, and composting
- Produced using local and recycled materials
- Combines digital production with biological processes
The technology
Additive manufacturing enables the production of complex geometries that cannot be realised efficiently using traditional methods.
Advantages of the technology in the project:
- Production without the need for moulds and with minimal material waste
- Rapid iteration and adaptation of design
- Integration of functions directly into the print (e.g., joints and identification)
- Local production with reduced transport
The technology serves as a link between digital design and physical construction.
Are you curious about how we drive innovation through partnerships and technology?
Materials and circularity
The project combines recycled plastic (rPLA) with mycelium—a biological material with unique properties:
- Mycelium is grown within the structure and “baked” into a solid material
- The material is biodegradable and can be composted
- Production can take place using local resources and waste streams
- The entire system is designed to be part of a circular cycle
This means the building both reduces waste and creates value from existing resources.
About the project
- 3-year research and development collaboration
- Developed by Dansk AM Hub and BIG
- Realised in collaboration with MDT, Naturpladen, and BIG Engineering
- Consists of 11 unique panel types assembled into arch structures
- Demonstrated as a physical pavilion
Perspective and potential
I AM MSHRM showcases new possibilities for the construction of the future:
- Temporary housing and emergency relief solutions
- Flexible urban spaces and pavilions
- Locally produced building systems
- Community-based construction without heavy equipment
The project has also inspired increased use of biogenic materials and 3D printing in the construction industry and points towards a more sustainable and adaptive construction logic.
Read more about the project
I AM MSHRM is the result of an ambitious idea turned into reality. In the brochure, you can explore the entire journey—from the first thoughts on circular construction to the development of a complete, modular system based on 3D printing and mycelium.
