Current lithium-ion battery technology uses metal foil current collectors (copper, aluminium) sourced from large manufacturers based in Japan and China; there are no domestic UK suppliers, and all current collectors are imported. Existing current collectors are bulky and account for up to 30% of the total battery weight, reducing the gravimetric energy an...

Selective Laser Sintering (SLS) is the most important thermal fusion additive manufacturing (AM) process utilising lasers to melt layers of metal or polymer powder on to each other and Nylon PA12 base powders occupy 95% of the polymer SLS market. One of the barriers to the adoption of SLS is the process cost and cost of disposal of waste un-sintered powde...

When polymer powders are selectively laser sintered (SLS), they have a microstructure that contains a significant amount of porosity conferring inferior mechanical properties – particularly elongation and toughness compared to conventionally processed materials such as injection mouldings or extrusions. We have shown that for conventional Nylon PA12 SLS p...

The objective of this industrial research project is to develop a patient-specific workflow for more targeted treatment of osteochondral defects in the knee joint using robot-assisted navigation. The surgical workflow would interface with S&N's commercial orthopaedic robot “NAVIO” providing new opportunities for earlier & more precise intervention. This i...

3D Printing and Additive Manufacturing (AM) has been heralded as a revolutionary technology which will impact on almost every aspect of manufacturing. It promises to be a technology which will change the manufacturing paradigm This is undoubtedly true, but before AM can be regarded as an established mass production technology it must metamorphose from a l...

This four month project will be delivered by Euriscus Ltd, a UK Company specialising in Additive Manufacture (AM). It will investigate the current capability of Turkish Univerisities and Industry in the field of AM, also known as 3D Printing. It will identify those Turkish organisations which are technology leaders in this area. Work will be carried out t...

Additive layer manufacturing (ALM) has revolutionised the near-net-shape fabrication of precision componentsand advanced cellular and microlattice materials in industries such as aerospace, automotive & medicaldevices. The laser is the primary component and expense in ALM machines but despite high costs (>£25k), thecost and performance of current laser so...

The HyperMATA project, lead by the specialist polymer development company, Ketonex, will develop a new family of high performance polymer materials intended for use in the Additive Layer Manufacturing (ALM) industry. The new polymer materials that will be developed will have significantly better mechanical and thermal properties over those presently avail...
