The aim of the AMALGAM project is to develop and demonstrate a revolutionary approach to the design andmanufacture of compound boosting systems, leading to improved engine efficiency and lower CO2 emissions.The new approach combines the latest hybrid laser cladding and 5-axis machining AM approach with partsproduced by powder bed fusion AM and conventional manufacturing in a single “join as you make” operation.This will provide a cost effective, efficient and flexible method of producing high performance automotiveparts, using the optimum combination of processes. The AMALGAM approach enables novel part design andmaterial combinations to be used which will have a dramatic impact on performance. The new approach is notrestricted to boosting systems but can be used in a wide range applications in motorsport, low volume andmainstream vehicles, as well as the wider high volume manufacturing sector.

AMALGAM项目的目的是开发和展示一种革命性的复合增压系统设计和制造方法，从而提高发动机效率并降低二氧化碳排放。新方法将最新的混合激光熔覆和5轴加工AM方法与粉末床熔融AM和传统制造方法生产的零件结合在一起，通过一个“即制造即连接”操作。这将提供一种具有成本效益的，高效灵活的生产高性能汽车零部件的方法，使用最佳的工艺组合。AMALGAM方法使新的部件设计和材料组合得以使用，这将对性能产生巨大影响。这种新方法不仅限于增压系统，而且可以广泛应用于赛车运动、小批量和主流车辆以及更广泛的大批量制造领域。
