The Digitally Enabled Efficient Propeller (DEEP) project is a 7-month feasibility study exploring how Additive Manufacturing (AM), also known as industrial 3D printing, can create the next generation of marine propellers. Traditional propellers are typically made using casting processes, which can limit design flexibility and performance. DEEP aims to ove...

Nanoé is a French-Malagasy social business moved by the ambition to amplify energy access and employment creation in rural Africa through the implementation of a new electrification model based on renewable energies, digital technologies and local entrepreneurship, named Lateral Electrification. In the PowerPath project Nanoé collaborates with Technovativ...

The construction industry faces ongoing challenges related to worker safety, skills shortages, and rising training costs. Traditional classroom-based training methods are often ineffective and fail to realistically simulate hazardous job sites. Current off-the-shelf training platforms also demonstrate several limitations that make them ill-suited to the n...

ALG will develop and combine new designs, methodologies and technologies to accelerate and catalyse benefits for current and next generation of landing gears. A streamlined and rationalised product and assembly process will be developed alongside the MTC, SMI and Sheffield University. Design methodologies and certification approaches with Bristol and Cran...

The overall goal of LH2CRAFT is to develop next generation, sustainable, commercially attractive, and safe long-term storage and longdistance transportation of Liquid Hydrogen (LH2) for commercial vessels (or even as fuel in certain applications). It aims at developing an innovative containment system of membrane-type for high-capacity storage (e.g., 200,...

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 ...

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 object...

The automotive manufacturing sector is important to the UK economy, with a turnover of £82 billion, directly employing 169,000 people. UK automotive production plants produced 2.71 million internal combustion engines (ICE) in 2018, 4th in Europe, employing 11,500 with £8.5 billion turnover. However, the automotive industry is facing the challenges that IC...
