TWI is taking the lead in the Open Architecture Additive Manufacturing (OAAM) project to demonstrate the ability to manufacture large metallic components via Additive Manufacturing (AM) for the benefit of UK Aerospace. The OAAM programme plans to develop directed energy deposition (DED) AM technologies that can be scaled up to accept multi-metre component sizes. TWI will work with project partners Airbus, Autodesk, Cranfield University, Glenalmond Group, University of Bath, University of Manchester and University of Strathclyde to create three DED AM process platforms. These new platforms will enable aerospace manufacturers and their supply chains to develop advanced AM manufacturing concepts in the following fields:1. Arc-wire / Laser-wire AM @ Cranfield University.2. Electron Beam wire AM @ TWI (Cambridge).3. Laser-powder / Laser-wire AM @ TWI (Yorkshire Technology Centre).Each of these systems will offer unique AM capabilities and address a number of common needs:• Scalable architecture solutions, with common CAD/CAM control interfacing.• Integrated process steps (NDT, Machining, Inspection, Cold-work etc.) as necessary for optimum implementation to aerospace requirements.• Ability to manufacture aerospace components using AM to TRL 6 or MCRL 4/5.These new AM systems will be truly state-of-the-art research facilities for their respective AM process variants, and will be made available to UK industry, leveraging key expertise resident within the hosting research organisations. They will establish a fully quantifiable process that will place UK suppliers at the forefront of the technology and AM research. This will offer the UK aerospace sector access to next-generation manufacturing with a simplified, lower risk route to support AM’s industrialisation and rapidly deploy into aircraft platforms. A substantial amount of results overspill onto other sectors (energy, marine, etc.) is also foreseen.The project, which is supported by Innovate UK (ref: 113164), commenced on the 1 January 2018 and will run for three years.

TWI在开放式架构增材制造（OAAM）项目中处于领先地位，以展示通过增材制造（AM）制造大型金属部件的能力，从而为英国航空航天公司带来利益。OAAM项目计划开发定向能沉积（DED）增材制造技术，该技术可以扩展到接受多米组件尺寸。TWI将与空客、欧特克、克兰菲尔德大学、格伦阿尔蒙德集团、巴斯大学、曼彻斯特大学和斯特拉斯克莱德大学等项目合作伙伴共同创建三个DED AM工艺平台。这些新平台将使航空航天制造商及其供应链能够在以下领域开发先进的增材制造概念：电弧线/激光线AM @克兰菲尔德大学。电子束线AM @ TWI（剑桥）。激光粉末/激光线AM @ TWI（约克郡技术中心）。这些系统中的每一个都将提供独特的增材制造功能，并满足许多共同的需求：•可扩展的架构解决方案，具有通用的CAD/CAM控制接口。•整合必要的工艺步骤（无损检测，机加工，检测，冷加工等）以优化执行航空航天要求。•能够使用AM到trl6或mcll4 /5制造航空部件。这些新的增材制造系统将成为各自增材制造工艺变体的真正最先进的研究设施，并将提供给英国工业，利用托管研究机构内的关键专业知识。他们将建立一个完全可量化的流程，使英国供应商处于技术和增材制造研究的前沿。这将为英国航空航天部门提供一个简化、低风险的下一代制造途径，以支持增材制造的工业化并快速部署到飞机平台上。还可以预见，大量的成果将溢出到其他部门（能源、海洋等）。该项目由创新英国（ref: 113164）支持，于2018年1月1日启动，将运行三年。
