Process and quality planning are prerequisites for the production of qualified products at competitive cost. Today ́s document-based work methods are not effective as valuable time is spent on document creation and document management instead of being spent on innovation and process improvements. Information duplication is an inevitable consequence with c...

"**Productivity is a critical factor for the UK economy** -- especially in the construction industry. . As stated in the Farmer Review of the Construction Industry, we need to ""modernise or die"", and this is recognised by the Construction Sector Deal. While offsite manufacturing techniques improve both quality and productivity, a step change is needed t...

DAM is a technology development programme led by GKN Aerospace aimed at advancing current technologies and knowledge in Additive Manufacturing for current product and Advanced Structures for application on future new aircraft platforms. The programme is critical for the intermediate future operations given the potential gains in productivity-efficiency-re...

TWI is taking the lead in the Open Architecture Additive Manufacturing (OAAM) project to demonstrate the ability to manufacture large metallic components via Additive Manufacturing (AM) for the benefit of UK Aerospace. The OAAM programme plans to develop directed energy deposition (DED) AM technologies that can be scaled up to accept multi-metre component...

Additive Manufacturing (AM) has the potential to revolutionise the way aerospace components are manufactured and re-invent supply chains. This technology can assist the aerospace sector to produce lightweight parts, which will lead to a reduction in emissions and fuel consumption. The AM process will also maximise the buy-to-fly ratio, with significantly ...

Additive Manufacturing (AM) offers unrivalled flexibility in terms of part geometry, material composition and production volumes. It could revolutionise the high value manufacturing sector and in particular the aerospace industry, enabling complex, lightweight, high performance parts to be produced with less material waste. Unfortunately, despite the clea...

Horizon (AM) is an initiative by a consortium of leading UK companies proposing to take 3D printing or Additive Manufacturing (AM) from a set of useful prototyping tools to a viable direct production method for advanced aerospace components. The group will be developing various novel manufacturing approaches to enable the production of highly complex ligh...

The RAWFEED project is a collaboration between EADS Innovation Works, Airbus, Delcam, Cranfield University and the University of Bath. The consortium are developing and validating the performance of the required sub-system hardware and software to enable a wire feed additive manufacturing (AM) process utilising wire arc welding deposition combined with in...

iCIM is an everyday design tool that facilitates carbon assessment by supporting designers and informing their decisions throughout the building lifecycle. It leads towards zero carbon and low impact building by enabling : a) The analysis of carbon embodiment and building modelling data from mainstream design and specification tools. For example, it has b...

CarbonBuzz is the result of collaborative project between architects, engineers, professional bodies, policy makers and academics to develop more effective measures to reduce the energy consumption of existing and new building. This unique online platform, offers users a graphical interface to benchmark and track the energy use of building and building po...
