INSPIRE (Ion Neutralisation System for enhanced Powder REuse)

Additive Manufacturing(AM)在零件几何形状、材料组成和生产量方面提供了无与伦比的灵活性。它正开始给高价值制造业带来革命性的变化，尤其是航空航天和医疗植入物行业，能够以更少的材料浪费和更经济的方式生产复杂、轻便、高性能的部件。不幸的是，尽管有明显的潜力，但有许多部件将从AM中受益，但工艺生产率太低。因此，迫切需要更多生产力的AM系统，以将这项技术转化为主流制造。在INSPIRE项目中，将进行一项全面的实验、理论和开发工作计划，以解决在民用航空和医疗植入物部门广泛采用AM制造生产部件所必须克服的一些关键挑战。“

"Additive Manufacturing (AM) offers unrivalled flexibility in terms of part geometry, material composition and production volumes. It is beginning to revolutionise the high value manufacturing sector and in particular the aerospace and medical implant industry, enabling complex, lightweight, high performance parts to be produced with less material waste and more economically. Unfortunately,despite the clear potential, there are many parts that would benefit from AM but the process productivity is too low. There is, therefore, an urgent need for more productive AM systems to move this technology into mainstream manufacturing.In the INSPIRE project a comprehensive programme of experimental, theoretical and development work will be conducted to address some of the critical challenges which must be overcome for widespread adoption of AM for the manufacture of production parts within the civil aerospace and medical implant sectors."
