Reactive Metal Jet Fusion Printing

这项研究将开发一种通过增材制造快速制造高质量金属零件的新方法，通常被称为3D打印。这项工作，如果成功，将导致更快，更便宜和更环保的生产功能部件，用于英国的领先产业。这将有助于保持英国制造业的竞争优势，从而提高工业产出，改善出口。英国学术界将通过向大学里的化学家、材料科学家和工程师开放新的研究机会而获益。公众将通过制造新产品和在英国主要工业部门创造就业机会而受益。

This research will develop a new way of rapidly making high-quality metal parts by Additive Manufacturing, often referred to as 3D printing. This work, if successful, will lead to faster, cheaper and more environmentally-friendly production of functional parts to be used in the UK's leading industries. It will help maintain the competitive advantage of manufacturing industries in the UK and result in enhanced industrial output and lead to improved exports. The UK academic community will gain by opening up new research opportunities to chemists, materials scientists and engineers in universities. The public will gain through the manufacture of new products and job-creation in key industrial sectors in the UK.
