| Organisation | Kanthal |
| Country | Sweden |
| Sector | Private |
| PI Contribution | We have developed a new manufacturing process and machinery for Kanthal to research the development of complex and efficient electrical heating technology. |
| Collaborator Contribution | Funding for Post Doctoral Researcher time, 2 X PhD studentship, £50,000 of consumables, £5,000 travel, technical staff time, industrial mentoring, access to testing facilities, factory visits and secondments for researchers. |
| Impact | Multi-disciplinary collaboration of materials and manufacturing to improve the production capabilities of the industrial partner. The products will aid the manufacturing industry using industrial thermal processing operations to transition away from fossil fuels. This has been achieved by developing a production process (and associated machinery) that can generate complex 3D parts that have the required characteristics for industrial heating. |

| Results and Impact | The International Microelectronics and Packaging Society (IMAPS) Workshop on Additive Manufacturing (printing) for packaging was hosted by Dr. Robert Kay at Loughborough University on the 22nd October 2015. This workshop brought together a range of individuals primarily from industry in order to introduce them to the current developments and activities in 3D printing applied to the field of electronics. The workshop was split into a morning session which educated these new individuals into the field of Additive Manufacturing and then in the afternoon covered the latest developments in academia and industry around 3D printing for electronics manufacturing. The research findings from two EPSRC projects was also showcased at this event (EP/L017415/1 & EP/L022133/1). Besides the networking benefits from this event the investigators on this grant were able to establish new collaborations with industry on existing and future research activities. The event also raised the awareness of many of the research activities in this field currently being conducted by UK Universities. |

| Results and Impact | As a result of my work in EPSRC grants Photobioform and IAMP I was invited to speak at the ESPRC Design for AM launch event. The management committee thought my presentation demonstrated my leadership in the field of Additive Manufacturing for electronics and therefore asked me to lead their first theme. I am now theme Lead in 3D Printing of Electronics for the EPSRC Design for Additive Manufacturing network and in 2021 organised a 2 day online event which brought two communities together to identify and roadmap how to solve the grand challenges. Through this work we linked the International Microelectronics and Packaging Society with Design for AM members bridging the gap between the disciplines. We have now produced a technological roadmap that will help the community tackle the challenges facing this growing research area. The output from Photobio form is also the cover image for the EPSRC Design for AM network webpage: https://www.designforam.ac.uk |
