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...

**D**igitally **E**nabled **C**ompetitive and **S**ustainable **A**dditive **M**anufacturing (**DECSAM**) aims to **boost adoption of Laser Powder Bed Fusion Additive Manufacturing** (L-PBF AM). With a cohesive and aligned vision the **world leading consortium** aims to validate a step change enabling L-PBF AM to be **cost-competitive** and **sustainable*...

The Multi-Application Bonding (MABond) programme is focussed on developing and leveraging advanced technologies to reduce the number of fasteners from future airframe designs. Unlike existing uses of adhesives in aerospace, this project will pave the way for use in more highly loaded and critical joints, which previously required rivets, nuts and bolts or...

The classical design and manufacturing paradigm in aerospace leads to a high buy-to-fly ratio because almost 90% of raw materials are turned into scrap, through subtractive machining from forged billet. This is the case even for costly, advanced engineering Ti-alloys where traditional manufacturing routes are employed. Scrapping most of the raw material t...

Metallic microlattices can enable extremely lightweight structures with high strength-to-weight ratios. Combining the benefits of lightweight construction, energy absorption, mechanical strength, thermal management, and design versatility, these lightweight structures have significant applications in aerospace, automotive, and transportation industries, w...

In LEAD (Low Energy Autonomous Digital) Factory we have put together a consortium containing the world's leading companies in their relevant disciplines, combining their innovation strengths to allow us to create a new method of manufacturing. This unique process will create functional plastics from plant waste, converting them into usable, functional pol...

Metals production, from mining ore through manufacturing parts, accounts for 7% of global energy use. While metal additive manufacturing (AM) has been promoted as a way to help us reduce our carbon footprint, this has not been well demonstrated with clear and complete information. Furthermore, there lacks a comprehensive comparison of energy consumption b...

The aim of the "Digital Supply Chain Adoption Curve" - DSCAC - project is to provide a product roadmap that helps deliver the vision of a fully integrated, digital supply chain. While the vision is not new, it has been stifled by a lack of adoption. That's despite the fact that such an integration could deliver significant value in terms of efficiency, ag...

The global emergence of COVID-19 has underscored the need for a reliable supply of respiratory facial protection which, if used correctly, it can provide adequate protection from the infection for all users, from healthcare workers to medically vulnerable individuals. Currently, the vast majority of respiratory facial protection includes masks that are di...
