Innovative Software for Designing Additively Manufactured Fluid Flow Components (Influunt)

1 Aug 2020 to 31 Jan 2022

Awarded
£84,442
Total cost £168,884

The emergence of 3D printing, industrially termed additive manufacturing (AM) is disrupting how components are manufactured. AM has the capability to manufacture increasingly complex designs for a multitude of cross-sectoral technologies. For example, aerospace where new components can be realised with significantly reduced material consumption and scrap....

Data-Driven Additive Manufacturing for Highly-Regulated Industries - DAEDALUS

1 Jul 2020 to 30 Jun 2022

Awarded
£0
Total cost £0

By enabling Additive Manufacturing (AM) parts in highly regulated sectors, DAEDALUS will help make the UK the place to manufacture the products that will drive the future of the world, addressing the UK Grand Challenges \[1\] (future electric aircraft for urban mobility and clean growth, and medical devices for ageing society).The adoption of AM in these ...

Gamified Learning of Additive Design

1 Jun 2020 to 31 Mar 2021

Awarded
£73,823
Total cost £73,823

The value of additive manufacturing processes (AM, otherwise 3D-printing) has been clearly demonstrated during this pandemic. The global community has energetically developed novel ventilator and PPE solutions in a very short time frame. Frustratingly, the number of designers and engineers with the required knowledge to drive such innovation is very low. ...

2018 Study Lead participant

Gen3D

1 Nov 2018 to 31 Jul 2019

Awarded
£77,585
Total cost £110,835

"Additive manufacturing (AM), often referred to as 3D-printing, is disrupting the way products and components are designed and manufactured. As AM processes manufacture components one layer at a time, complex geometries can be created without the added complexity of having to program the AM machine. Designers are now using these processes to produce previ...
