Driving Sustainability in DIAMETER

Meet KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Sweden's leading technical university and a pioneer in merging advanced manufacturing with circular economy principles. With a distinguished history of academic excellence and industrial collaboration, KTH brings a unique combination of research, education, and innovation expertise to the DIAMETER Project.

In this interview, Professor Amir Rashid discusses KTH's pivotal role in bridging cutting-edge additive manufacturing technology with circularity principles, and how this fusion is driving practical solutions for climate-neutral, resource-efficient manufacturing across Europe.

KTH's Strategic Contribution to DIAMETER

KTH's participation in DIAMETER represents a powerful convergence of complementary expertise. Since 2011, KTH has been at the forefront of circular economy research, while their work in additive manufacturing dates back to 2016. This dual expertise positions KTH uniquely at the intersection of advanced technology and sustainability, making their involvement an "ideal combination of the two sides."

KTH contributes specialized knowledge across multiple critical areas:

  • Advanced Manufacturing Expertise: Providing deep technical knowledge in additive manufacturing, process development, and optimization to ensure manufacturing excellence
  • Value Chain Circularity: Analyzing and designing entire value chains driven by additive manufacturing, embedding circularity principles into every stage of the manufacturing process
  • Sustainability Enabling Toolkit (Work Package 3): Leading the design of a comprehensive toolkit that guides systemic-level decision-making, helping industries navigate the complex intersection of technology and sustainability
  • Impact Creation Leadership (Work Package 7): Driving the transition from technical innovation to practical industrial implementation, ensuring that breakthrough solutions reach real-world applications

Real-World Impact

KTH's work in DIAMETER aims to demonstrate that merging technical innovation with circularity creates tangible value across industry, society, and education. By leading impact creation efforts, KTH ensures advanced manufacturing technologies reach industrial implementation, making production more efficient, environmentally sound, and economically viable.

Beyond industrial transformation, KTH contributes to Europe's transition toward climate-neutral manufacturing while channeling project insights directly into educational programs, preparing the next generation of engineers for sustainable innovation.
