The National Centre for Net Shape and Additive Manufacturing, housed within the existing MTC facility, demonstrates the entire additive manufacturing (AM) process chain at an industrially relevant scale – taking raw material and part designs to produce fully-finished parts, where every stage of the process is carefully monitored and controlled. With expertise across all stages of the AM process the centre provides pragmatic and unbiased support to UK organisations interested in AM. Support follows a three-phase approach: discovery (explanation of AM and selection of appropriate process); demonstration (redesign, production and validation of demonstrator part); and pre-production (transition from demonstrator to full-scale production). The Centre has delivered over 100 projects for companies across the supply chain: OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers and SMEs – including assisting SMEs with no previous experience of the aerospace sector to develop novel AM processing equipment, creating significant new market opportunities for them. Future work will aim to industrialise physical AM processes, and demonstrate how an effective digital twin can have a significant impact on the speed of delivery of the technology across a wide range of industries.

位于现有MTC设施内的国家净形和增材制造中心以工业相关规模展示了整个增材制造（AM）工艺链-采用原材料和零件设计生产完全成品零件，其中每个阶段都受到仔细监控和控制。该中心拥有AM过程各个阶段的专业知识，为对AM感兴趣的英国组织提供务实和公正的支持。支持遵循三个阶段的方法：发现（AM的解释和选择适当的过程）;演示（演示器部分的重新设计，生产和验证）;和预生产（从演示器到全尺寸生产的过渡）。该中心已为整个供应链上的公司提供了100多个项目：OEM，一级供应商和中小企业-包括帮助以前没有航空航天领域经验的中小企业开发新型AM加工设备，为他们创造了重要的新市场机会。未来的工作将旨在实现物理AM流程的工业化，并展示有效的数字孪生模型如何对广泛行业的技术交付速度产生重大影响。
