PERFORM (Disruptive Textile Technology for Aerospace Applications)

谢菲尔德大学先进制造研究中心(AMRC)正在向航空航天技术研究所申请资金，为AMRC综合中心购买最先进的设备。AMRC和工业伙伴将使用这种设备来加强英国在复合材料和航空航天方面的世界市场竞争优势。复合材料越来越多地被用于航空航天，使飞机更轻、更环保，许多其他行业都有巨大的机会采用复合材料，以获得经济和环境效益。使用这种设备进行的研究预计将降低复杂复合材料部件的成本，使航空航天和其他行业更容易采用这种轻量化解决方案，并帮助英国制造商在利润丰厚且快速扩张的航空航天和复合材料市场获得更大份额。

The University of Sheffield’s Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) is requestingfunding from the Aerospace Technology Institute to purchase new state-of-the-art equipment forthe AMRC Composite Centre. This equipment will be used by the AMRC and industrial partners tostrengthen the UK’s competitive edge in world markets in composites and aerospace.Composite materials are increasingly being used in aerospace to make aircraft lighter and moreenvironmentally-friendly and there are huge opportunities to adopt composites in many otherindustries in order to reap economic and environmental benefits.The research undertaken with this equipment is expected to bring down the cost of complexcomposite components, making it easier for aerospace and other industries to adopt this lightweightsolution, and helping UK manufacturers to secure a larger share of the lucrative and rapidlyexpandingaerospace and composite markets.
