What is Stamping?
Stamping Advanced engineering, concept and
pilot studies, stamping engineering and
industrialization of car and truck bodies,
manufacturing of stamping dies, stamping,
sub-assembly of exterior parts and logistics
before Body Shop (assembly of complete body) and
responsibility for sourcing of production and
stamping dies. Volvo Cars Body Components, Saab
Automobile, Scania Cab, AB Volvo in Umeå and
Finnveden Metal Structures are the Swedish
companies focused on Stamping.
3
What is OSAS?
OSAS is an international innovation environment,
a venue and a center of excellence, where
companies, universities and institutes jointly
further develop a for Sweden, Blekinge and
Olofström important branch of the Swedish
manufacturing industry - Stamping
4
What is OSAS?
OSAS is a regional, national and international
center of excellence in the following stamping
areas.
Production and Production Development
Stamping and Stamping Dies
Logistics and Logistics Development
5
What is OSAS?

• As a center of excellence, OSAS constitutes a
  competitive concentration/
• symbiosis of multidisciplinary competency that
  is of strategic importance for
• further development of Stamping.
• OSAS contributes to generation of new knowledge
  and new technologies,
• which in turn will result in new and improved
  products and processes.
• Together with others (suppliers, other
  companies, universities and institutes),
• the Center of Excellence OSAS constitutes an
  innovation environment which
• promotes the competitiveness of the Swedish
  automotive industry and its
• suppliers.
• In 3-4 years, OSAS will be one of the world
  leaders within its competency
• areas (frequent evaluation will be conducted
  to ensure this).

6
What is OSAS?

• In 3-4 years, OSAS will offer the staff of the
  participating companies world-
• class education and training.
• OSAS will be visible from the beginning both
  nationally and internationally.
• OSAS will create an environment with
  high-frequency mobility between the
• Academy and the Industry
• At least 5 industry-related thesis works will be
  conducted at OSAS annually.
• At least 5 Ph D students will be working at OSAS
  annually with Ph D projects
• outlined in accordance the industry
  NeedsWants.
• The staff at the participating companies will
  act as academic supervisors,
• associate professors, etc.

Why IDC in Olofström?

• Since IDC has the prerequisites (with regard to
  competency, structurally and geografically) to
• realize OSAS, convert it to a strong innovation
  environment and an
• internationally recognized Center of
  Excellence which promotes the
• competitiveness of the Swedish automotive
  industry and its suppliers
• in collaboration with companies, universities and
  institutes.

10
What will OSAS work with?

• Tasks directly assigned to OSAS and ordered by
  companies
• Volvo Cars och OSAS have signed a technology
  development contract, which
• means that some Volvo Cars and Stamping
  related RTD work will be conducted at OSAS.
• RTD projects outlined in accordance to industry
  NeedsWants (see the next pages).
• Assistance to companies for industrialization
  and implementation of the RTD
• results.
• Industrial education and training (transfer of
  the generated knowledge to the staff
• of the participating companies)
• Volvo Cars and OSAS have signed a competency
  development contract. According to
• this contract, OSAS and Volvo Cars will
  conduct a competency gap analysis and OSAS
• will provide the specified education and
  training.

11
What will OSAS work with?

• Project plans outlined so far
• Cost and Lead Time Saving Die Manufacture for
  the automotive industry
• Milling with high precision and efficiency for
  manufacture of stamping dies
• Forming SImulations
• In-line Geometry Conrol
• Flexible, re-usable and foldable racks with high
  density
• Simulation based production planning

Cost and Lead Time Saving Die Manufacture Where
do we stand in 4 years?

• The Entry Ticket is reduced by 15 and the die
  manufacturing lead time
• by 40 through
• Improved springback prediction
• Elimination of all manual work (grind and
  polishing) in the die manufacture
• Surface hardening instead of through-hardening
• Elimination of casting pattern (by so-called
  direct casting)
• Casting in accordance to the Camito method
• Creation of a Selection Road Map (with regard to
  die materials and
• surface treatements for forming and trimming
  dies.
• Knoweldge generation and transfer to stimulate
  normal Kaizen and
• improve the technical ordering knowledge when
  sourcing

15
Forming Simulations Where do we stand in 4 years?

• Accurately predict more parameters than today,
  e.g. part geometry after forming, influence
  on results from process and material scatter.
• Accurately predict all interesting parameters
  for all materials in production, including
  all new materials, e.g. stainless steels and
  sandwich materials.
• Increased accuracy and complexity without major
  increase of simulation lead time.
• Forming simulation results are used as input for
  simulations conducted at
• other CAE departments.
• Structural analysis and casting simulations have
  improved stamping die design standards and
  enabled die design optimization.
