AMELE - Advanced Manufacturing of Electroformed Leading Edges
1 Nov 2025 to 31 Jul 2027
AMELE (Advanced Manufacturing of Electroformed Leading Edges) is a novel and patentable electroforming process able to produce nickel erosion protection guards for composite aerofoils. The process is highly automated with each AMELE system able to produce up to 5000 leading edge guards per year. The process involves electrodepositing nickel from a solutio...
MEFSVS - Multi-functional Electroformed Fuel System Vacuum Structure
1 Apr 2025 to 31 Mar 2027
The MEFSVS project is led by SME Ultima Forma in collaboration with leading tier 1 supplier GKN Aerospace. Liquid hydrogen has been identified in the FlyZero programme and ATI Technology roadmaps as the future fuel for zero-carbon aviation by 2050\. Hydrogen provides high energy density with minimal environmental impact on combustion and zero CO2 emission...
LEEF - Leading Edge Electro-Forms
1 Sep 2024 to 28 Feb 2026
Ultima Forma and Polar technologies expand the adoption of carbon fibre composite (CFRP) materials for aerospace applications through improvements in their ability to withstand the thermal and erosion requirements of the most demanding environmental conditions. The UK has outstanding expertise in composite materials, from academia, the National Composites...
Modular Energy Storage with Clean Hydrogen (MESCH)
1 May 2024 to 30 Apr 2026
**MODULAR ENERGY STORAGE WITH CLEAN HYDROGEN (MESCH).** The MESCH project will develop and deploy a new category of battery and hydrogen production technology (a battolyser) within a modularised hybrid energy storage system. MESCH can be used for electricity supply, cooking, or to support education and employment. During our 2-year project, project partne...
Functionally graded material - Electroformed component robotic manufacturing
1 Oct 2023 to 30 Sep 2024
In this project advanced robotics and automation are used to unlock an innovative manufacturing process. Ultima Forma has a patented technology using electro-deposition to manufacture metallic engineering components to net-shape, in a low energy, low waste process. The process allows microscopic layers of dissimilar metals to be deposited sequentially. Th...
ECPS - Electroformed composite protection system
1 May 2023 to 30 Sep 2023
The aim of ECPS is to determine feasibility of a process which will upgrade lightweight carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) products for extreme environments by adding an integral metal matrix composite (MMC) at the surface. The MMC surface will enable the lightweight CFRP part to withstand high particle erosion and high working temperature (target up ...
Electroformed Hydrogen Containment Tank - Pilot Line
1 Nov 2022 to 29 Feb 2024
This project brings closer to market a key hydrogen barrier containment technology with funding the installation of an electroforming pilot line for the manufacture of thin, lightweight metallic liners for pressurised hydrogen storage vessels. These liners are then over wrapped with carbon fibre for structural integrity. The project builds on successes fr...
Hydrogen Barrier Coatings for Gas Network Assets
1 Mar 2022 to 30 Apr 2022
HYSTOR - Composite Electroformed Hydrogen Tank
1 Apr 2021 to 30 Sep 2022
The market for hydrogen powered vehicles now has greater emphasis due to its low carbon potential and is predicted to grow substantially by 2040\. The recent launch of advanced hydrogen fuel cell powered vehicles from Toyota and Hyundai have showcased the potential of the technology and refuelling infrastructure is gradually being rolled out especially in...
