A significant part of the Sheet Metal Centre activities consist of R&D projects. These projects are either public projects together with several companies, or confidential customer-specific research projects. In recent years, SMC has been involved in the following projects:
• MaPiMu
• FLD Nordic, Development of an improved method for determination of forming limit diagrams (FLD) for sheet material
• OMaSi, development of modelling and simulation at SMC and regional companies
• New generation roof coatings
• Future steel facades
