The theme area is manufacturing of engineering composites structures, specifically those which comprise continuous highperformance fibres held together with a polymeric matrix. The relevant industry areas include aerospace, automotive,marine, wind energy and construction.The proposal demonstrates urgent and growing need in the UK polymer composites manufacturing sector for suitablytechnically qualified individuals, able to make positive and rapid impact on its international manufacturing competitiveness.The new IDC fills an existing gap in provision of industrially focussed higher level education in the UK, in the specialistdiscipline of polymer composites manufacturing. It will have its centre of gravity in Bristol, with the new NationalComposites Centre (NCC) the natural home-base for the cohort of composites manufacturing Research Engineers,embedded in the composites manufacturing industry. This new applied research activity focussed at TRL 3-5 will bedifferent from but highly complementary to the outputs of EPSRC Centre's composites manufacturing PhD students andthose in the Bristol ACCIS DTC working on more fundamental research topics in composites at TRL 1-3. Achieving aclearer definition of the industrial composites manufacturing challenges and of new knowledge base requirements willprovide direction for the industrially relevant accompanying fundamental research.The EPSRC Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Composites will establish and maintain a close synergistic connectionbetween the new IDC, the Systems IDC at the University of Bristol and the Manufacturing Engineering EngD Centre leadfrom the University of Nottingham. This will establish a critical mass of industrially focussed composites manufacturingresearch activity in the UK, raising the national and international status of the EngD brand in the composites industry, in academia and in professional institutions by targeted dissemination through the EPSRC Centre, in conjunction with the NCC.

主题区域是工程复合材料结构的制造，特别是构成连续高性能纤维与聚合物矩阵一起的纤维。相关的行业领域包括航空航天，汽车，海洋，风能和建设。该提案表明，在英国聚合物复合材料制造业中，适合技术资格的个人制造业的急需和日益增长的需求，能够对其国际制造业竞争力产生积极和快速的影响。新的IDC填补了专业的专业人士的现有缺口，以专门为专业提供专业的教育，该公司在专业级别的教育中占据了专业的教育。它将在布里斯托尔设有重心，而新的国家康斯特人中心（NCC）是复合材料制造研究工程师队列的天然家居基地，该家居嵌入了复合材料制造业。这项针对TRL 3-5的新应用研究活动将从EPSRC中心的复合材料制造博士生和Ththose的Undivertartions the Compos dtc中的EPSRC Center的组合及其成果进行互补，从而在TRL 1-3的COMPOSITES上工作。实现工业复合材料制造挑战和新知识基础要求的定义将为伴随的基本研究提供方向。这将在英国建立大量的工业集中综合材料制造研究活动，从而通过与NCC结合通过EPSRC中心通过EPSRC中心进行了针对性传播，从而提高了复合材料行业，学术界和专业机构中的Engd品牌的国家和国际地位。
