Additive manufacturing will change the
fundamental manufacturing paradigms
This is a global phenomenon that will happen inevitably – Finnish manufacturing
industry needs to decide how to take a part of this development.
Opinions and adaptation barriers
heard from the Finnish industry…
Reputation of 3D is on plastic printing and thus it is seen applicable
just for B2C
It is seen expensive and slow
No standards and thus cannot be used in critical applications
“Isn’t that an old invention already? The big change should have
happened already, if it is to become…”
Etc.
Yes, true, but the technology will develop and these boundaries have and will change.
Still right application is the key - 3D is not profitable to be used for everything.
There are several possible strategies – our
companies need to select the most suitable ones.

As the technologies and application areas develop in different pace, the overall change
path is complex. A systematic change is needed for effective adaptation.
A systematic change requires right
conditions
Examples of systematic change drivers from history
Competition
War
Lack of resources
Dissatisfaction
Common thing for all these examples is that they have happened
as a result of wide co-operation!
Co-operation is the key for the great changes and
innovations.
In FIMECC we enable systematic change by
creating effective CO-CREATION environment
Long-term
competitiveness!

Invest in things that matter
• Focus on the most critical
research items based on the
industrial long-term potential
and investment interests (SRA,
SGs)
Accelerate through effective
PPP
• Right competences and
resources
• Sharing of risks and costs
• Sharing of results and IPRs
Maximise the impact
• Companies’ own development
• Ecosystem projects’
enablement
• Results commercialisation

3D printing is part of the overall manufacturing
digitalisation phenomenon.
Although, it is important game changer
technology, it is only one part of the overall
change and much more is needed:
• Changes in design IPR management
• Quality management (in manufacturing-as-aservice -models)
• Information security
• New business models and concepts
• Etc.
Full benefit realisation requires therefore a
multidimensional development which is
complex, but potentially also highly rewarding.
In additive manufacturing area
FIMECC is active in several areas
Key for effective transformation is to
find the most relevant applications
Many times the take steps towards AM
goes through Hybrid manufacturing

An application driveness is therefore the key for AM
research in FIMECC. The research done should
have a potential benefit case defined.
All the areas are in focus and pure AM technology
research is done also but together with Fraunhofer
institute.
Examples of research questions
•
Weldability of AM parts
•
Material properties also for integrating parts (welding)
•
Enhanced use of additive manufacturing in small series
•
Process limitations, repeatability and quality
•
Economic and environmental benefits
•
Fabrication of large scale components
•
Design and decision guidelines
5 key take aways
1.
3D printing and AM are global trends that will develop and gain market in any
case, i.e. regardless of what we do in Finland.
2.
Together with the digitalization development, the 3D printing can change
radically the traditional industry processes and business models (spare part
warehousing, logistics, etc.)
3.
Finland should choose the right strategies how to deal with this development
for maximal benefits. (Right application areas,
Technology innovator vs. effective applier).
4.
Complex area and the full benefits realisation and risk sharing in effective
manner requires co-operation.
5.
Systematic change requires the right environment:
–
Multidisciplinary knowledge
–
Common goals
–
Resources
–
Enthusiasm.
