Approximately 25% of global plastic production is manufactured in China. Reshoring manufacturing to the UK will drive two major impact reductions: carbon emissions and virgin plastic consumption. Batch.works is a UK manufacturer who combines 3D-printing and recycled materials to produce products for UK brands, including lighting, stationery, fashion and homeware. In this project we will integrate AI to reduce the fail-rate of 3D-printing and automate our factor processes to:1. Increase use of recycled materials2. Reduce our costly printing fail rate to improve resource efficiency3. Improve life-cycle circularity for new products4. Reduce embodied carbon in our products5. Improve profitability as we scaleBuilding UK manufacturing capability that is inherently adaptable, makes us more resilient and less reliant on global supply chains, which have been vulnerable under COVID.

全球约有25%的塑料产品是在中国生产的。将制造业重新转移到英国将推动两大影响减少：碳排放和原始塑料消费。Batch.works是一家英国制造商，将3D打印和回收材料相结合，为英国品牌生产产品，包括照明，文具，时装和家居用品。在这个项目中，我们将整合人工智能，以降低3D打印的失败率，并自动化我们的因素流程，以：1.增加使用循环再造物料2。降低成本高昂的打印失败率，提高资源效率3。提高新产品的生命周期循环性4.减少我们产品中的隐含碳5。随着我们的规模扩大，提高盈利能力建立具有内在适应性的英国制造能力，使我们更具弹性，减少对全球供应链的依赖，而全球供应链在COVID下一直很脆弱。
