Current manufacturing methods for aerospace parts involve labour intensive techniques, large volumes of consumables and multiple process steps generating long production times. To meet future demand of 80 aircraft per month, the aerospace industry needs to disrupt current production and technological limitations by building more sustainable, large-scale aerospace assemblies at appropriate rates with reduced part counts whilst maintaining the quality levels and accuracies required for components within the aerospace sector.Spillover to other sectors (defence, renewables, automotive) has been identified as part of the business plan. Situated within an open access facility, the equipment requested in HICOMS-S will contribute to the United Nations overarching sustainability goals to reduce carbon emissions, waste and energy use whilst supporting and enabling the UK to lead in the development of future Near Net Shape (NNS) aircraft production. It will push the boundaries of existing R&D, utilising innovative Rapid Tow Shearing (RTS) processes, the world's first automated manufacturing process able to place carbon fibre tapes along curved paths without generating defects. HICOMS-S will enable innovative research using RTS, developing components for aerospace, defence, renewables, transportation and UAM sectors.High Rate Manufacturing of Large-Scale Composite Structures (HICOMS-S) will draw on innovative technologies developed by the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC). It is one of three interlinked projects that make up the Composites at Scale and Speed (COMPASS) portfolio. The other two projects are:* High Rate Manufacturing Automation of Large-Scale Composites (HICOMS-A)* The COMPASS Building: a building to house HICOMS-S and HICOMS-AThe Isothermic High-Rate Sustainable Structures (IHSS) project is also dependent on the COMPASS portfolio. This is the first planned R&D project for the facility - currently at ATI full stage submission in batch 39 (10065311).Combined with the other two projects, HICOMS-S provides the UK with a unique facility that will support industry to derisk the development and manufacture of high-rate, large-scale composite structures (10m x 3.5m). It will address current manufacturing challenges and improve the production of parts at a greater scale and rate.

目前的航空零部件制造方法涉及劳动密集型技术、大量消耗品和生产时间长的多个工艺步骤。为了满足未来每月80架飞机的需求，航空航天行业需要打破目前的生产和技术限制，以适当的速度建造更可持续的大规模航空航天组装，减少零部件数量，同时保持航空航天部门零部件所需的质量水平和精度。已将对其他部门(国防、可再生能源、汽车)的溢出效应确定为业务计划的一部分。S所要求的设备位于一个开放接入设施内，将有助于联合国总体可持续发展目标，以减少碳排放、浪费和能源消耗，同时支持并使英国能够在未来近净外形(NNS)飞机生产的发展中处于领先地位。它将利用创新的快速丝束剪切(RTS)工艺，突破现有研发的界限，这是世界上第一个能够沿着弯曲路径放置碳纤维带而不会产生缺陷的自动化制造工艺。S将利用RTS进行创新研究，为航空航天、国防、可再生能源、交通运输和UAM部门开发零部件。大型复合材料结构的高速制造(HICOMS-S)将利用先进制造研究中心开发的创新技术。这是组成Composites at Scale and Speed(COMPASS)投资组合的三个相互关联的项目之一。其他两个项目是：*大型复合材料的高速制造自动化(HICOMS-A)*COMPASS建筑：容纳HICOMS-S和HICOMS-A的建筑等温高速可持续结构项目也依赖于COMPASS产品组合。这是该工厂的第一个计划研发项目-目前正处于第39批(10065311)ATI全阶段提交。与其他两个项目相结合，上海奥美-S为英国提供了一个独特的设施，将支持行业降低开发和制造高速、大型复合材料结构(10m x 3.5m)的风险。它将解决当前的制造挑战，并以更大的规模和速度提高零部件的生产。
