Hybrid manufacturing combines subtractive and additive processes, enabling worn and defective metal parts to be repaired and returned to production. At the same time, the project explores opportunities to upgrade older CNC machines and industrial robots, giving them new life instead of scrapping them.  <\/p>\n<p>The project is carried out by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.damrc.dk\/\">DAMRC<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/am-hub.dk\/en\/\">Dansk AM Hub<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.au.dk\/\">Aarhus University<\/a> in collaboration with <a href=\"https:\/\/industriensfond.dk\/projekt\/cirkularitet-i-produktionshallen-omstil-din-produktion-til-cirkularitet\/\">Industriens Fond<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Through tests, demonstration cases, events and hands-on knowledge, the project will provide especially SMEs in the manufacturing industry with access to technologies that can reduce material waste, extend equipment service life and strengthen their green profile-without major investments in entirely new systems.<\/p>\n<p>The project runs until February 2028, and the first activities have already been launched.<\/p>\n<p>We look forward to sharing experiences and results along the way!<a href=\"https:\/\/am-hub.dk\/cip\/\">Read more about the project<\/a><\/p>\n<span
