Towards total remanufacturing of mechanical products

Research Project, 2026 – 2030

The industry faces significant challenges in remanufacturing mechanical products, a key pillar of the circular economy. Current remanufacturing processes are inefficient and costly due to the lack of digital tools for decision-making and process optimization. This project aims to develop an integrated digital twin that enables real-time control of remanufacturing through AI-based quality assessment and process optimization.By integrating advanced additive manufacturing with digital twins, the project establishes a scientific foundation for sustainable resource utilization and reduced material waste. The research focuses on both composite and metal remanufacturing, introducing novel methods for optimized regeneration, and reassembly.The project will enhance Sweden’s leadership in sustainable manufacturing and strengthen collaboration with international research partners. By working closely with industry and academia, it will facilitate the transition from linear production models to efficient circular systems.
