Many high value next generation products demand macro scale ultra precision components, with micro-scale structure possessing nanometric tolerance. CIM-UP's vision is to be the world's foremost research centre for innovation in next generation ultra-precision production systems and products with global outreach. It will foster and accelerate development of emerging high value products through its dedicated production compatible ultra precision process research platforms and internationally leading research programme. It will facilitate the engagement of the UK precision manufacturing supply chain into the future wealth creating opportunities of emerging sectors.The key manufacturing challenges that will be met by CIM-UP are the creation of a suite of ultra-high precision closed loop (integrated metrology) digital based manufacturing tools that offer a step-change in the fabrication routes for products that require nanoscale precision across length scales from nm to several metres.It is intended that process research will extend energy processing technologies, such as plasmas, lasers, ion and electron beams, and low temperature deposition techniques into fully capable ultra precision manufacturing processes. It is intended these emergent processes will be employed sequentially or simultaneously with established ultra precision processes within newly devised research platforms. These research platforms will be created in partnership with suitable UK industrial partners using a fully digital mechatronic design process. The design processes will extend; CAD, FEA (thermal/dynamic), CAM and performance verification using modal techniques for thermal and mechanical structural analyses. Performance verification will be undertaken using internationally accepted test procedures that will be verified, and where necessary enhanced, using the services of an appropriate national laboratory.Important UK manufacturing operations within biomedical, telecommunications, energy generation, aerospace/space, transport, pharmaceutical and future display technologies rely on precision engineering. Emerging fields of printed electronics and flexible displays are highly dependent on the creation of new production capabilities which will need to offer step changes in precision accuracy and productivity. The overarching aim of CIM-UP will be to realise research processes and platforms that define a new generation of rapid and effective ultra precision production systems. In this way, this centre will reconcile the simultaneous demands of 'accuracy' and 'rapid production capacity' thereby establishing advanced manufacturing technologies pivotal to important emerging market sectors. Through close interaction with the UK's precision manufacturing technology supply chain and product end users/developers, a unique world-leading ultra precision research centre will be established by two internationally recognised research institutes. This collaborative application builds on previous research programme partnerships established through earlier IMRC activities, Grand Challenges and the UPS2 Integrated Knowledge Centre. The UPS2 IKC and Cambridge CIKC will provide pipe-line translation mechanisms for the proposed early TRL research outputs from CIM-UP.

许多高价值的下一代产品需要宏观尺度的超精密部件，以及具有纳米公差的微观尺度结构。CIM-UP的愿景是成为全球领先的下一代超精密生产系统和产品创新研究中心。它将通过其专用的生产兼容超精密工艺研究平台和国际领先的研究计划，促进和加速新兴高价值产品的开发。它将促进英国精密制造供应链参与新兴行业的未来财富创造机会。CIM-UP将遇到的关键制造挑战是创建一套超高精度闭环系统，（集成计量）基于数字的制造工具，提供了一个步骤-改变产品的制造路线，要求从纳米到几米的长度尺度上的纳米级精度。工艺研究将扩展能量处理技术，如等离子体，激光、离子束和电子束以及低温沉积技术应用到完全能够实现的超精密制造工艺中。它的目的是这些新兴的过程将采用顺序或同时建立超精密工艺在新设计的研究平台。这些研究平台将与合适的英国工业合作伙伴合作，采用全数字机电一体化设计流程。设计过程将扩展; CAD，FEA（热/动态），CAM和性能验证，使用模态技术进行热和机械结构分析。性能验证将使用国际公认的测试程序进行，这些程序将通过适当的国家实验室进行验证，并在必要时进行改进。英国生物医学、电信、能源发电、航空航天/空间、运输、制药和未来显示技术领域的重要制造业务依赖于精密工程。印刷电子和柔性显示器的新兴领域高度依赖于新生产能力的创造，这将需要在精度和生产力方面提供阶跃变化。CIM-UP的总体目标是实现定义新一代快速有效的超精密生产系统的研究流程和平台。通过这种方式，该中心将协调“准确性”和“快速生产能力”的同时需求，从而建立对重要新兴市场部门至关重要的先进制造技术。通过与英国精密制造技术供应链和产品最终用户/开发商的密切互动，两家国际知名的研究机构将建立一个独特的世界领先的超精密研究中心。这一合作应用程序建立在先前的研究计划伙伴关系的基础上，这些伙伴关系是通过IMRC早期的活动、大挑战和UPS 2综合知识中心建立的。UPS 2 IKC和剑桥CIKC将为CIM-UP提出的早期TRL研究成果提供管道翻译机制。
