Thanks to emerging materials and digital technologies, the product design space is larger than ever. Despite this, EU manufacturers are struggling to innovate, with traditional tools presenting a major bottleneck. Existing machining tools were designed for a more stable world, when a single process flow would remain unchanged for years. To increase compet...

The DIGIPIPEWELD project will develop a suite of solutions eliminating existing areas of concern in the joining of plastic pipes, where new pipelines often experience premature failure during the installation phase or during service. Due to this failure model, contractors are obliged to carry out destructive testing and non-destructive testing (NDT) on a ...

ReMake incorporates various existing approaches to **remanufacturing, refurbish, repair and direct use cycles** already in use by industry partners across Scotland. The 'ReMake Glasgow' project would further enable businesses to develop life extension and value retention practices within their products and systems, which is essential for meeting circular ...

International competitiveness requires the UK to modernise its industrial capabilities, which are steering industries towards widespread development and adoption of automation, and autonomous based solutions. These technologies have the potential to create novel and disruptive manufacturing capabilities leading to significant improvements in quality, accu...

The turbo-charger market continues to grow at a CAGR of 10% as manufacturers design leaner and more fuel efficient engines. This technology will be the largest contributor to reducing CO2 emissions in vehicles (worldwide) for at least the next decade. This project will boost the productivity of production equipment for this market, an important export mar...

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...

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 ...

Wire-based Additive Manufacturing (AM) is able to rapidly deposit a large volume of material, followed by a final machining operation to reach the final dimensional tolerances for parts. This fabrication method offers a considerable improvement in material usage for components that are machined from solid - commonly known as buy-to-fly ratio for aerospace...

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...
