According to the UK’s航空技术学院（ATI），添雷电竞充值加剂制造面临三个主要挑战；确保过程是准确且可重复的，可以专门用于AM的系统级设计，并简化AM组件认证的途径。
As a result, theManufacturing Technology Center（MTC）已经开始戏剧(Digital Reconfigurable Additive Manufacturing facilities for Aerospace) three-year research project which aims to improve the UK’s aerospace supply chain using a unique additive manufacturing digital learning factory.
通过创建一个digitally-twinned虚拟环境t for the aerospace industry’s additive manufacturing process chain, this project hopes to minimize the risk, cost and time to market for companies implementing AM technologies to design, build, and market higher performing parts. The test bed facilities will be located at the MTC’sNational Centre for Additive Manufacturing(NCAM), Coventry and at the雷尼沙AM Solutions Centre，斯塔福德郡。
Established in 2010 by theUniversity of Birmingham,Loughborough University, The诺丁汉大学， 和TWI，MTC是一个独立的研究与技术组织（RTO），可在各个领域提供集成的制造系统解决方案。
Launching the DRAMA project
With intentions to further grow the UK’s aerospace industry, the Government announced in November 2017 that it would inject£53 million of funding into several R&D projects that focus on increasing exports, high-value jobs, and overall growth; one of which includes the DRAMA project.
This project is receiving£14.3million as part of the ATI programme which also partners withATS Applied Tech Systems,Autodesk,Granta Design,中部航空联盟,National Physical Laboratory，雷尼肖和University of Birmingham.
The main objectives of the DRAMA project are to further integrate and de-risk the adoption of AM technologies within the entire process chain to develop more commercial and efficient AM process chains.
使用可重新配置的虚拟环境，戏剧将减少AM流程计划的时间和成本，为AM技术提供知识库和数字工具，并在端到端AM流程中教育供应链公司和OEM。
技术主管Marc Summers - ATI的结构，材料和制造业说：
“制造业的世界正在革新，我们看到航空航天部门的采用和发展新型技术和改进的流程发生了重大转变。在某种程度上，AM将重新发明制造流程，使公司能够在虚拟环境中脱离风险和验证想法。”

Prior to this, the MTC has initiated an ongoing collaboration with theEuropean Space Agency(ESA) to建立增添制造基准测试中心雷电竞充值(AMBC).
3D打印行业also had the chance to view some of the development of Big Data solutions for additive manufacturingduring a visit to the MTC’s UK Intelligent Engineering forum last year.
戏剧项目现在计划建立用例，并证明交付行业所需的零件的能力。NCAM预计将在2019年11月之前设有运营完整试验设施。该设施将于2020年为供应链提供。
