Data-Driven Additive Manufacturing for Highly-Regulated Industries - DAEDALUS

通过在高度监管的行业中实现附加制造(AM)部件，Daedalus将帮助英国成为制造将推动世界未来的产品的地方，解决英国的重大挑战\[1\](未来用于城市机动性和清洁增长的电动飞机，以及用于老龄化社会的医疗设备)。这些行业(例如航空航天、石油天然气和医疗)采用AM受到部件质量问题、工艺重复性和可靠性、可追溯性、可扩展性和AM标准供应有限的阻碍。这些挑战与在AM流程链(即粉末管理、构建过程和后处理)和供应链中生成(采样)、捕获(过程中监测)、过程(信号处理)、存储(数据架构)、结构(数据模式和标准)、管理(可追溯性提供)、分析(数据关联和洞察)和共享(人工数据、不同平台)高度复杂的数据的能力内在地联系在一起。因此，数字制造是关键的推动因素和解决方案，这是DAEDALUS的核心目标。DAEDALUS的目标是开发一种新的解决方案，结合IDT(AM、IIoT/Connectivity、AI/Analytics)来构建数字线索和分析解决方案，以支持AM的采用和扩大，并加快高度监管行业中AM部件的鉴定。**AM Digital Three：**开发单一、可跟踪的数字线索及其设施/生产管理系统的灵活集成，以简化、标准化和数字化整个AM供应链中专注于粉末管理的最佳实践，过程和后处理优化。**AM智能：**通过利用材料、传感器和过程中监控数据，开发支持人工智能的材料和过程控制和稳定性解决方案。该解决方案将分别针对AM过程链的三个步骤(粉末管理、构建过程、机械加工)在前期生产和工业环境中进行演示。最终的演示将是一个数字集成的AM供应链：一个安全、协作、智能和独立的平台，通过该平台，AM供应链合作伙伴可以安全地共享可靠的AM原材料和产品可追溯性数据。最终的解决方案旨在实现运营效率(包括产量、材料成本和交付期)的革命性改进。该解决方案还将从根本上改善AM供应链的资格和认证时间。因此，上市时间也有望大幅改善。DAEDALUS将通过将轻量化、电气化、定制医疗植入物和设备固定在英国供应链中，影响制造业的未来，并帮助振兴相关的数字技术生态系统。

By enabling Additive Manufacturing (AM) parts in highly regulated sectors, DAEDALUS will help make the UK the place to manufacture the products that will drive the future of the world, addressing the UK Grand Challenges \[1\] (future electric aircraft for urban mobility and clean growth, and medical devices for ageing society).The adoption of AM in these sectors (e.g. aerospace, space, oil & gas and medical) is hindered by part quality issues, process repeatability and reliability, traceability, scalability and limited availability of AM standards. These challenges are inherently linked to the ability to generate (sampling); capture (in-process monitoring); process (signal processing); store (data architectures); structure (data schemas and standards); manage (traceability provision); analyse (data correlation and insights) and share (manual data, different platforms) highly complex data across the AM process chain (i.e. powder management, build process and post-processing) and the supply chain. Therefore, digital manufacturing is a key enabler and solution, which is the core objective of DAEDALUS.DAEDALUS is aiming at developing a novel solution, with a combination of IDTs (AM, IIoT/Connectivity, AI/analytics) to build the digital thread and analytics solutions to enable AM adoption and scale-up and accelerate qualification of AM parts in highly regulated sectors.**AM Digital Thread:** Development of single, traceable, digital thread and its flexible integration of facility/production management systems to streamline, standardise and digitalise best practices across the AM supply chain focusing on powder management, process and post-process optimisation.**AM Intelligence:** Development of AI-enabled solutions for material and process control and stability through the utilisation of materials, sensor and in-process monitoring data.This solution will be demonstrated for three steps of the AM process chain individually (powder management, build process, machining) in a combination of pre-production and industrial environments. The final demonstrator will be a digitally integrated AM supply chain: a secure collaborative, intelligent and independent platform whereby reliable AM raw material and product traceability data can be shared securely between AM supply chain partners.The final solution is intended to generate game-changing improvements in operational efficiency, including yield, material cost and lead-times. The solution will also make a radical improvement in qualification and certification times for the AM supply chain. As a result, significant improvements in time to market are also expected.DAEDALUS will influence the future of manufacturing, by anchoring light-weighting, electrification, customised medical implants and devices in the UK supply chain and help invigorating the associated digital tech ecosystem.
