SDU Research Grant for Metal Waste Recycling in Additive Manufacturing
A researcher at the University of Southern Denmark has received a grant to explore the reuse of contaminated metal waste in Additive Manufacturing. This project aims to improve sustainability and reduce reliance on imported raw materials in Europe.

Mohammad Malekan from the University of Southern Denmark has secured a Sapere Aude Research Leader grant to investigate converting industrial metal waste into usable metal powder for Additive Manufacturing (AM). The research focuses on 'dirty powders' generated from CNC machining, aiming to reduce the need for extensive cleaning processes, potentially making recycling simpler and more environmentally friendly.
The project is significant as it addresses Europe's reliance on imported metals and seeks to enhance local manufacturing resilience. By examining how impurities impact the quality of AM components, the study could facilitate the transition towards a circular economy in Europe. The grant will support a team of researchers to advance these methods.
