In this project a team of world experts in metallurgy, mechanical engineering, and machine learning will collaborate to build a Digital Qualification Platform for Additive Manufacture ("3D printing").Additive Manufacture ("AM") has the potential to transform for the better the way a vast range of advanced components are manufactured. It can create objects that are lighter, more intricate and functional, and made from more advanced materials than other manufacturing technologies, and it can do so using less raw material and completely digitally, so no tooling is required. Full use of AM could transform prospects for lower-energy, lower-emission aeroplanes and cars, powered by more sustainable fuels, as well as creating new opportunities in electronics, medical implants, and many other markets.However, AM faces a major barrier to adoption: the cost of designing an optimal component, and proving beyond doubt that can do its job safely for as long as it is required. This has always been a challenge and an expense in aerospace, requiring many millions spent on expensive trials, but it is a particular hurdle for AM, as a novel technology which builds up a component from billions of tiny welds.This project aims to build a future in which new materials and components are designed and proved safe entirely by computational means, saving years of time and millions of pounds, as well as accelerating innovation in aerospace and elsewhere. It will do this by building a Digital Qualification Platform for AM materials and components, including software-packaged computational models and a world-class experimental facility, and demonstrating the Platform through the certification of a heat exchange component built during the project for test flight on a Boeing aircraft.Once applied to AM, the Platform will then be extended to speed innovation, decrease costs, and reduce waste in traditional manufacture. The Project will also create 46 highly-skilled new jobs now and over 2,500 by 2035\.The four-year project will be led by Alloyed, a high-growth technology business based in Oxford, and include Boeing, Renishaw, the manufacturer of AM hardware, TWI Ltd, the UK Atomic Energy Authority, Imperial College, and the Universities of Manchester and Sheffield.

在这个项目中，冶金，机械工程和机器学习方面的世界专家团队将合作建立一个数字资格制造平台（“ 3D打印”）。添加剂制造（“ AM”）具有转换的潜力，使得多种高级组件的制造方式更好。它可以创建比其他制造技术更轻巧，更复杂和功能的对象，并且由更先进的材料制成，并且可以使用较少的原材料和完全数字化的对象进行，因此不需要工具。 AM的充分利用可以改变低能量，低发射飞机和汽车的前景，由更可持续的燃料提供支持，并在电子，医疗植入物和许多其他市场上创造新的机会。这一直是航空航天中的一个挑战和费用，需要数百万美元用于昂贵的试验，但这是AM的一个特别障碍，作为一种新型技术，它建立了数十亿个小焊缝的组成部分。此项目旨在建立一个未来，以使新材料和组件由计算机和其他数年的时间和数百万美元和数百万美元的速度和少量的速度以及众多的速度以及众多的速度以及众多的速度以及众多的速度来证明。它将通过建立用于AM材料和组件的数字资格平台，包括软件包装的计算模型和世界一流的实验设施，并通过在项目上使用的pairaft in AM的测试飞行过程中建造的热交换组件来演示平台，然后将平台扩展到速度，以加速创新成本，并减少传统制造成本，并减少浪费。该项目还将创建46个高技能的新工作，到2035年，超过2,500个项目将由四年制的项目由合金（一家位于牛津的高增长技术业务合金）领导，包括波音公司，Renishaw，Renishaw，Renishaw，AM Hardware，Twi Ltd的制造商，TWI LTD，英国原子能授权，帝国学院，帝国学院，以及Manchester and Sheester and Sheester。
