Using additive manufacturing to create tools for use in the industry (English)
Abstract [sv]

Additiv tillverkning och 3D-skrivaren är en teknologi som har existerat på marknaden sedan 1984. I grunden så erbjuder tekniken ett alternativ för att tillverka digitala 3D-modeller. Denna uppsats undersöker maskinens användningsområden, främst producerandet av verktyg i industrier. Arbetet genomfördes i samband med forskning i KTHs bibliotek samt intervjuer med respondenter från olika industrier för att bedöma lönsamheten med att skriva ut verktyg, vilka faktorer som påverkar lönsamheten och vilka risker användningen av maskinerna innebär. Resultatet som presenteras är att lönsamheten kan variera både positivt och negativt baserat på faktorer som tillverkningsvolym och användningsområden. Massproducering av verktyg med hjälp av additiv visar sig inte vara lika lönsamt jämfört med andra användningsområden som exempelvis prototyptillverkning eller tillverkning av verktyg mot order.

Abstract [en]

Additive manufacturing and 3D-printers is a type of technology that has been on the market since 1984. The technology has since then evolved, and it has become a phenomenon which industries all over the world actively use during production. This essay however covers the area of use for the machine, primarily production of tools for use in the industry, profitability and what risks the industry should be aware of. The sources used in this essay derive from the KTH library and interviews conducted with respondents from different companies working in the production industry. The result presented in this essay is that the profitability depends on area of usage and manufacturing volume. This essay portrays that mass production is not as profitable compared to when additive manufacturing is used when constructing prototypes or tools that are made-to-order.
