The 30th and 31st of October we've had the SFI Manufacturing autumn workshop in Nordfjord, with Brødrene Aa as host organization. Prior to this workshop, we published the third SFI newsletter, which focused on the research area Multi-Material Products and Processes.

The objective of the research area Multi-Material Products and Processes is to develop the ability to optimize material choice, multi-materials geometry and processes simultaneously. The work is lead by Einar Hinrichsen in SINTEF Materials and Chemistry. In the newsletter you can find an update on the research we are doing.
