Danish AM Report 2021: Potential for a sustainable future<\/h1>\n

Mention 2020 and you inevitably mention the coronavirus pandemic. COVID-19 shaped most of the past year, creating increased awareness of AM technology as a powerful tool\u2014even in times of crisis. <\/p>\n

The acute demand for medical equipment activated, among other things, \u201cMaker\u201d movements, which 3D printed protective equipment and were able\u2014with short response times\u2014to deliver it to hospitals in need. In addition to hospitals, SMEs with global supply chains were severely affected by the crisis due to production shutdowns and logistical delays around the world. This created a need to produce locally instead, and AM technology is an obvious option here\u2014something several Danish manufacturing companies also experienced and adopted. <\/p>\n

Despite the pandemic, the green agenda remains important\u2014if not more important. AM technology holds significant sustainable potential, which many Danish manufacturing companies have already experienced, but which many more must and will discover.
\nThe link between AM and sustainability is close and highly relevant, and together with our ecosystem stakeholders, Dansk AM Hub has a role in highlighting this\u2014especially to manufacturing companies. Therefore, we continuously launch initiatives with a focus on sustainability, so that the Danish ecosystem is developed around AM technology. <\/p>\n

In addition, industrial metal 3D printing must be further developed. Metal AM opens up a wealth of new opportunities, but is not yet widespread among Danish manufacturing companies. However, several service providers and educational institutions have engaged in development projects in this area, enabling Danish companies to access knowledge about metal AM and test the technology. <\/p>\n

Download the report below and read more about this. Here you can also get a status update on AM in Denmark and learn more about both AM developments in the past year and what Dansk AM Hub is looking ahead to in 2021. <\/p>\n
