NSERC Canadian Network for Research and Innovation in Machining Technology (CANRIMT)

通过机械加工技术的创新，加拿大制造业处于独特的领先地位。通过独特的科学专业知识和CANRIMT网络第一阶段的技术转让，这一卓越的愿景得到了成功的支持，直接影响了以5轴铣削、钻孔、车削和镗孔的商业产品形式传播到工业领域的精确和完整的基于物理的加工仿真模型。因此，世界上第一个用于宏观和微观加工操作的综合虚拟加工技术软件工具现已在加拿大的航空航天工业中使用，并正在为汽车和机械制造行业进行测试，使设计和生产高质量的创新产品无需昂贵的物理试验。CANRIMT第二阶段将创建一个新的整体范式，将传感器融合的物理加工系统与复杂加工操作的虚拟模型相结合，通过五个多学科主题完成：1：数字化加工；二、虚拟模型辅助加工监控；三、复合材料零件的加工；IV：适应性工装/工艺和新型制造工艺/应用；五是将创新技术融入虚拟和物理平台。网络视觉通过开发智能、数字加工系统和工厂来支持工业4.0，增强虚拟制造工具的功能和准确性，以响应加拿大航空航天、汽车、能源、机械和医疗设备行业现有和新兴的需求。CANRIMT第二阶段预计将在未来五年内通过在工业合作伙伴的制造工厂和国际合作研究中心实习，培训超过85名新的研究生和专家工程师。这将促进技术转移，对加拿大制造业的机械加工实践产生重大的经济、社会和环境影响，同时使加拿大的研究人员保持在世界先进制造业的前沿。

Canada's manufacturing sector is uniquely positioned to lead through innovation in machining technologies. This vision of excellence has been successfully supported through unique scientific expertise and technology transfer of Phase 1 of the CANRIMT Network, with direct impacts in the area of accurate and complete physics-based machining simulation models disseminated to industry in the form of commercial products for 5-axis milling, drilling, turning, and boring. As a result, the world's first comprehensive Virtual Machining Technology software tools for both macro- and micro-machining operations are now in use in Canada's aerospace industry, and are being tested for automotive and machinery manufacturing industries, enabling design and production of high-quality innovative products without costly physical trials. CANRIMT Phase 2 will create a new holistic paradigm which integrates the sensor fused physical machining system with the virtual models of complex machining operations, accomplished through five multidisciplinary Themes: I: Digital machining ; II: Virtual model-assisted machining monitoring and control; III: Machining of composite parts; IV: Adaptive tooling/processes and novel manufacturing processes/applications; and V: Integration of innovative technologies into virtual and physical platforms. Network vision supports Industry 4.0 through the development of intelligent, digital machining systems and factory, enhancing the functionality and accuracy of virtual manufacturing tools in response to existing and emerging demands in Canadian aerospace, automotive, energy, machinery and medical device industries. CANRIMT Phase 2 is expected to train over 85 new graduate students and expert engineers over the next five years through internships at industrial partners' manufacturing facilities and collaborating international research centres. This will facilitate technology transfer, providing significant economic, social and environmental impacts on the machining practices of Canada's manufacturing sector, while keeping Canadian researchers at the forefront of advanced manufacturing world-wide.
