HAMK Sheet Metal Centre

Discussions between Ruukki and HAMK about establishing competence centre for sheet metal applications were initiated in 1994

Founding decision was made in autumn 1996 and operation started in October 1998

Premises in the same building with Ruukki Steel Construction Training Center, the operation of which had started at the beginning of 1998

Relocation to new premises at the Moreeni industrial Park in 2005 together with Ruukki Construction Technology group

Relocation to new premises at HAMK Visamäki Campus in spring 2015 together with Ruukki Construction Technology group

Sheet Metal Centre 2014 HAMK’s oldest research unit (16 years) 8 employees + a lecturer (Degree Programme in Construction Engineering, part

time) 66 research reports in 2014

Participates in teaching at steel construction courses in the Construction - and Building and Construction Engineering degree programmes

Training for companies

HAMK Sheet Metal Centre

Sheet Metal Centre researches and developes sheet metal products in cooperation withcompanies and research institutes in the following fields of expertise:

Sheet metal forming and joining Loading tests and analysis Weathering testing and durability

Our research and development projects aim at improving the competitiveness of Finnish sheet metal products and manufacturing, as well as to further develop our research and educational preparedness of the field at HAMK.
