AMOS project presents DED findings at opening of UK Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre

Three years in, and the雷电竞充值增材制造优化和仿真(AMOS) project is making progress. The aim of this project is to developdirected energy deposition(DED)用于维修航空航天中使用的组件。最近,加拿大/欧洲联盟被要求在新英国开放的开幕式上提出其发现Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) Midlands在德比。活动估计有150名区域制造商和利益相关者,包括劳斯莱斯和跨国航空航天和运输公司庞巴迪(Bombardier)。

航天-grade 3D printing for repairs

成立于2016年,EU-Canadian资助阿莫斯project includes the participation of the谢菲尔德大学高级制造研究中心(AMRC),ÉcoleCentrale de Nantes(ECN),GKN航空航天,数字产品模拟,McGill University在魁北克,Liburdi Group, the渥太华大学, 和Pratt&Whitney Canada(PWC)。在成立时说话Dr. Rosemary Gault, European project coordinator at the University of Sheffield AMRC, an AMOS project member, laid out its objectives as follows: “There’s a host of additive manufacturing technologies available to aerospace manufacturers, but they tend to be focused on new production rather than repairing damaged parts.”

“The AMOS project is bringing together some of the world’s leading research organizations and companies to identify which additive technologies are best suited for repair and remanufacture, and develop them for commercial use.”

As such, the consortium has identified three areas of development for the technology: Materials, Repair Process Planning and Simulation, and Design Optimization.

Material characterization tests are being undertaken variously by ECN, Liburdi, McGill and the University of Sheffield. GKN, meanwhile, is leading efforts in design optimization. For the third Planning segment, so far McGill University have published a thesis relating to a software tool created for this purpose. Validated with real components provided by partners, this tool is reportedly capable of digitally “analyzing and reconstructing the damaged area.”

AMOS项目的最新发现

The new Nuclear AMRC Midlands facility is part of the UK’sHigh Value Manufacturing Catapult, a “Catalyst for the future growth and success of manufacturing in the UK.” It was launched in February 2019, and will work as incubator for new manufacturing technologies. Focusing on “digitalisation” these technologies should also be flexible, compatible with reconfigurable Factory of the Future models such as the谢菲尔德大学的工厂2050.

在该中心的就职典礼上,主要的AMOS项目开发包括:“各种聚合物和金属的添加剂制造,通过核创新计划开发的智能焊接工具”和“飞机的创新传感器”。雷电竞充值
