Once again this year, the Danish Society of Engineers, IDA, put the spotlight on industry, manufacturing, automation and digitalisation at the conference `Industry 4.0 – The Intelligent Industry of the Future` on Friday, 9 June. In this context, Dansk AM Hub’s CEO, Frank Rosengreen Lorenzen, gave a presentation in which he outlined the potential of Additive Manufacturing (AM) as a solution to our challenges related to supply insecurity, security and climate change.

A revolutionary manufacturing technology

AM technology represents a revolutionary manufacturing technology that can create more efficient and sustainable production processes. Frank Rosengreen Lorenzen and Dansk AM Hub are working to help Danish manufacturing companies make sustainable choices by leveraging the possibilities of AM technology. This includes, among other things, decentralised production, new production models and the use of generative design, which can lead to reduced weight, material consumption and production costs, as well as improved designs.

One of the important tools that Dansk AM Hub offers is a CO2e calculation tool that can guide companies in deciding between traditional manufacturing methods and AM production. A tool that helps companies assess the potential for CO2 reductions by implementing AM technology in their production.

Focus on awareness of AM technology

At the conference, CEO Frank Rosengreen Lorenzen focused on providing a perspective on AM technology as a potential solution to our challenges related to the supply, security and climate crisis, sharing concrete cases from Denmark and abroad where AM technology is already being used to create more sustainable production systems. Over the past 15 years, Frank Rosengreen Lorenzen has worked with innovation, technology and strategy and, through Dansk AM Hub, has helped several Danish and international companies navigate the intersection of sustainability, business and new technology.
