The University of Nottingham is on its way to become an even more prominent figure in the world of British 3D printing. A ground-breaking ceremony has taken place to mark the start of work to build a pioneering Institute for Advanced Manufacturing located on their Jubilee Campus.
The 9,011 sq m training and research facility will be built by G F Tomlinson. The construction company has worked with the University previously, building the Jubilee Campus. The building will serve as an expansion of the University’s Faculty of Engineering, housing their Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing Research Group that a currently holds a research portfolio worth over $8M.
施工完成后，预计将在此设施中安置700名员工，学生和研究人员。
研究
目前，研究小组正在开发15个项目。其中，他们正在研究不同的建模技术，材料的使用，设计优化方法以及添加剂制造中使用的过程。雷电竞充值有趣的项目包括带有玻璃的增材制造，开发3D印刷软机器人和以雷电竞充值纳米量表开发的复合材料。
新设施还将容纳诺丁汉大学的旗舰劳斯莱斯大学制造技术技术中心。航空航天，汽车，海洋和能源发电的开创性进步将在这里进行。
资金
Building the Institute will cost around $28.6 million, of which $22.5 million will be invested by the university and$6.2 million from D2N2 Local Enterprise Partnership. An addtional $1.5 million contribution will be provided by the Wolfson Foundation to develop a clean room for the investigation of 3D printed pharmaceutical devices.
D2N2是德比，德比郡，诺丁汉和诺丁汉郡的本地企业合作伙伴（LEP）。它是地方当局与企业之间的合作伙伴关系，以推动该地区的创新。沃尔夫森基金会（Wolfson Foundation）是一家独立慈善机构，授予授予和促进科学，健康，教育和艺术与人文科学领域的卓越奖励。
