STATUS
An independent, non-profit institution
Approved as a technological service institute by the Danish
Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation.
OBJECTIVE
The objective of the Danish Technological Institute is to
address the needs of the industrial sector and society as
a whole through the development and dissemination of
technological innovation.
KNOWLEDGE PROCESSES AT DTI
Knowledge development
Develops new knowledge through R&D activities –
national as well as international
Knowledge application
Knowledge application takes place through
general technological services, e.g.
laboratory tests, testing, calibration and
certification
Knowledge transfer
In interaction with and supplying advisory services
to private and public market players, e.g.
consultancy, education and operator tasks

 RPT (Rapid Prototyping Technologies),
 ALM (Additive layer manufacturing)
 RM (Rapid manufacturing)
 AF (Additive fabrication)
 DDM (Direct digital manufacturing)
 SFF (Solid freeform fabrication)
 LM (Layered manufacturing).

AM is the application of layer manufacturing techniques for the fabrication of functional longterm models or enduse products. The physical inputs into the RP systems are the materials,
CAD model and laser. By using different RP technologies, final net shape metallic parts can
be fabricated. It is a one-step process in which tooling is eliminated thereby reducing
production time and cost.

The beauty of Rapid Manufacturing.
”The RM technology has given us a bigger creative designing space, because we
are no longer limited by a particular geometric shape.
We do not produce tools, which means that the production process is reduced to
a few weeks where it before took between 4 to 6 months.
The time factor means that we can now try out our ideas, and it gives us
an enormous amount of freedom”

Pumps and the world's electricity consumption



Today pumps account for no less than 10% of the world's electricity consumption.
Two third of all pumps use up to 60% too much energy [2].
If every business switched to a high efficiency pump system there could be global savings of
4% of the total electricity consumption- comparable with the residential electricity consumption
of 1 billion people
