AT-LAB - Regional additive manufacturing laboratory at Karlstad University
Additive manufacturing (AM) and 3D-printing technology is a new and nowadays hot topic in Sweden.
Karlstad University strives to contribute to sustainable development. Environmental thinking must permeate all our activities. We have therefore introduced an environmental management system and annual environmental goals.
These goals include taking environmental aspects into account in all education and research, making environment-friendly purchases and journeys, reducing the amount of paper and chemicals used and training the staff in environmental issues.
