Seeds for the future: “We want to grow brain power”

Seeds for the future: “We want to grow brain power” Read More »

The world’s largest manufacturer of toys, The LEGO Group, wants to harness and invest in new knowledge from universities to develop skills, tools and factories of the future. At the MADE Innovation Conference participants got an insight into how they successfully have planted seeds in the form of collaborations with DTU and other industrial partners.

MADE’s Managing Director, Nigel Edmondson moderated the event at DTU.

Cheaper and better production of radar antennas

In a MADE demonstration project together with the Danish Technological Institute, the Danish machine manufacturer Newtec has tested metal 3D printing on two exciting applications: a nozzle in stainless steel and a sorting roller in titanium. For Newtec, the experience from the project was surprising – it turned out that metal 3D printing is both cheaper and further developed than they expected. The experience has already proved useful in other parts of Newtec.

Transforming BKI Foods’ production: QR-codes, reusable coffee bags and roasting data

Denmark’s largest producer of coffee, BKI Foods, has been on a 20-year long journey to digitize their manufacturing process and make it more environmentally friendly. Among the results are the invention of a reusable coffee bag, a new roasting process which reduces energy consumption by 20 pct. and a QR-system which eliminates failures in the packaging process by 95 pct.

Lack of knowledge is the biggest obstacle for a 3D-print breakthrough

Only one out of four manufacturing companies in Denmark uses 3D printing and AM. The biggest barrier to a breakthrough is lack of knowledge about the technology, a recent report from Danish AM Hub shows. MADE members Danfoss and Grundfos address this by upgrading the skills and training of employees to ensure world-class production.
