This document summarizes the activities from a meeting of the Sustainability Impact of New Technology on After-sales Service Supply Chains (SINTAS) working group. It outlines research projects and publications from the past six months, including related student work. Plans for additional student projects and sample printing using the NLR's SLM machine are discussed. The next meeting is scheduled for June 2017 at TU/e.

9.  In kind contribution by NLR covers 60 SLM machine
hours for printing samples; capacity for small samples
in WP-1: 20-30 hours
 Suggested way of working:
 Companies request cases to be printed, with motivation
 NLR assesses technological feasibility, resource usage
 Working group (Tiedo, Rob, Matthieu) gives an advice,
companies may object within some period (2-3 weeks?)
 Suggested criteria:
 Useful for research of at least WP1, and preferably also
WP2 and/or WP3
 Useful for at least 2 other participants (e.g. NLR + user)
 Indication of positive business case (rough LCC analysis)
SELECTION OF SAMPLES TO BE PRINTED
