The Flexcelle project will create a flexible strategy for nacelle manufacture, allowing different products to be manufactured using the same equipment. This will include a reconfigurable fixture for composite panel machining process and a generic assembly cell. The requirement for shimming of parts will be eliminated by creating matched machined surfaces....

There is a large emphasis across the tool and die (T&D) sector to develop new methods which reduce cost, improve life and functional performance. The European T&D market is estimated at 11 billion USD per year and the UK spends £130m on closed die forging and sheet metal dies alone. These industries are made up of a large number of SMEs and adopting new m...

Today's increasingly complex high value engineering parts are too valuable to discard when they are damaged. Unfortunately, current repair methods, often based on a series of complex manual operations, are difficult to control to ensure that high performance, often safety critical, parts have the required level of integrity. This problem is exacerbated wh...

The SEAMLESS project represents a major technical and commercial advance in the area ofpost processing for additive manufacturing. The poor surface quality for AM parts has been amajor barrier for full process adoption, which will be addressed in this project. The SEAMLESSsolution combines a number of surface finishing and post processing technologies inc...

The FlexiFinish project addresses the significant challenges faced by industry surrounding the ability to finish surfaces on complex parts, in a controlled and cost effective manner. This is also becoming a significant barrier to the wider uptake of additive parts within the Aerospace industry and beyond. In order to address this, the FlexiFinish project ...

Development of advanced repair technologies is a key business enabler for the aero engine market. Rolls- Royce, a world-leading provider of power systems and services for use on land, at sea and in the air, generates more than half of its revenues from aftermarket services supported by novel repair technologies. Turbine components have been identified as ...
