项目摘要

Additive Manufacturing (AM) is seen as an underpinning technology that will enable developments in other scientific areas and will cut across all sectors. It is being used in a wide variety of research from topology optimisation, optics, flow chemistry, regenerative medicine and many 'traditional' engineering areas. The importance of AM to the UK economy has been identified in a number of recent reports, with Innovate UK defining it as one of the UK's 22 priority process technologies.The vision of this fellowship is to scope the possibilities and see UK academics inventing entirely new AM processes that are orders of magnitude faster than current processes, and to establish a UK Strategy for Additive Manufacturing that enables and accelerates UK industry to be world-leading at exploiting the technology.This Fellowship will marry academics from disciplines such as physics, chemistry and materials with the existing AM community in the UK to explore the potential for volume processing materials at high speed. Objectives are to:Investigate Volumetric AM processesEnthuse other academics to take up the challenges of next generation AMIntroduce these new academics to the existing AM communityEncourage the new community to generate radically new ideasAssist the community to develop feasibility studies and full proposals for fundingThere will also be activity to engage academics in the process to develop a UK Strategy and Implementation Plan.This will occur by taking a dual approach across the value chain from discovery at low TRLs in a new research agenda to deployment at higher TRLs with a UK national strategy to provide a clear route to implementation paving the pathway to adoption of AM in UK industry.Specific research outputs from this will be working visits each way with opportunities for researchers and academics to collaborate on innovative ideas for Volumetric Processing. This will also lead to stronger academic/industry links within the UK. It is expected that there will be joint publications and generation of IP and spin-outs.The research undertaken within this Fellowship will complement current work at the EPSRC Centre for Innovative Manufacturing in Additive Manufacturing and a proposed activity under a SAVI (Science Across Virtual Institutes) programme funded by NSF and EPSRC. Individually these activities can stand alone, but combined will offer a great opportunity for UK Science and Engineering.A major output of the Fellowship will be an ambitious and challenging new area of research for UK academics in Volumetric AM. The UK will lead this exciting new area. There would also be the opportunity to assist the Government and EPSRC in the definition and implementation of research policy. The national work in AM fits directly to the EPSRC strategy as AM is one of the priorities for EPSRC, and falls into the theme of Manufacturing the Future.Both of these activities are timely in that there is an urgent need to increase the processing speed of AM and also to ensure that the UK benefits in all areas of manufacturing, commerce and society through a coherent and clear strategy and implementation plan for maximum exploitation.The key outcomes of this Fellowship will be:An integrated community of academics investigating Volumetric AM with twice the number of research projects.At least 4 new concepts identified as possible routes for Volumetric AM.A UK strategy and implementation plan for AM which has been actioned and updated leading to an increase in the UK market share by x2.

加法制造(AM)被视为一项支撑技术，将使其他科学领域的发展成为可能，并将跨越所有部门。它被用于各种研究，从拓扑优化、光学、流动化学、再生医学到许多“传统”工程领域。AM对英国经济的重要性已经在最近的一些报告中得到了确认，Innovate UK将其定义为英国22项优先工艺技术之一。该奖学金的愿景是探索可能性并看到英国学者发明全新的AM工艺，这些工艺比现有工艺快几个数量级，并建立英国添加剂制造战略，使英国工业能够并加速在利用该技术方面处于世界领先地位。该奖学金将把来自物理、化学和材料等学科的学者与英国现有的AM社区联系起来，探索高速批量加工材料的潜力。目标是：调查体积AM流程促使其他学者接受下一代AM的挑战将这些新学者引入现有AM社区鼓励新社区产生全新的想法帮助社区制定可行性研究和完整的融资建议还将开展活动，让学者参与制定英国战略和实施计划的过程。这将通过跨价值链的双重方法实现，从在新的研究议程中发现低TRL到部署较高的TRL，并结合英国国家战略，为实施AM提供一条明确的路线，为在英国行业采用AM铺平道路将进行工作访问，让研究人员和学者有机会就体积加工的创新想法进行合作。这也将加强英国内部的学术/行业联系。预计将联合出版和产生知识产权和副产品。在该研究金内进行的研究将补充EPSRC添加剂制造创新制造中心目前的工作，以及由NSF和EPSRC资助的SAVI(跨虚拟机构的科学)计划下的拟议活动。单独来说，这些活动可以单独进行，但结合在一起将为英国科学和工程部门提供一个很好的机会。该奖学金的一个主要成果将是英国学者在Volume AM中雄心勃勃和具有挑战性的新研究领域英国将引领这一令人兴奋的新领域。还将有机会协助政府和EPSRC确定和实施研究政策。AM的全国工作直接符合EPSRC战略，因为AM是EPSRC的优先事项之一，属于制造未来的主题。这两项活动都是及时的，因为迫切需要提高AM的处理速度，并确保英国在所有制造业领域受益，通过一个连贯和明确的战略和实施计划最大限度地利用商业和社会。这一奖学金的主要成果将是：一个研究体积AM的综合学术社区，研究项目数量增加一倍。至少4个新概念被确定为体积AM的可能路线。英国AM战略和实施计划已付诸实施，并已更新，导致英国市场份额增加x2。
