PERFORM (Disruptive Textile Technology for Aerospace Applications)

谢菲尔德大学先进制造研究中心（AMRC）正在向航空航天技术研究所申请资金，为AMRC复合材料中心购买最先进的新设备。该设备将被AMRC和工业合作伙伴使用，以加强英国在复合材料和航空航天世界市场的竞争优势。复合材料越来越多地用于航空航天，使飞机更轻，更环保，在许多其他行业采用复合材料以获得经济和环境效益的巨大机会。使用该设备进行的研究预计将降低复杂复合材料部件的成本，使航空航天和其他行业更容易采用这种轻量化解决方案，并帮助英国制造商在利润丰厚且快速扩张的航空航天和复合材料市场中获得更大的份额。

The University of Sheffield’s Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC) is requestingfunding from the Aerospace Technology Institute to purchase new state-of-the-art equipment forthe AMRC Composite Centre. This equipment will be used by the AMRC and industrial partners tostrengthen the UK’s competitive edge in world markets in composites and aerospace.Composite materials are increasingly being used in aerospace to make aircraft lighter and moreenvironmentally-friendly and there are huge opportunities to adopt composites in many otherindustries in order to reap economic and environmental benefits.The research undertaken with this equipment is expected to bring down the cost of complexcomposite components, making it easier for aerospace and other industries to adopt this lightweightsolution, and helping UK manufacturers to secure a larger share of the lucrative and rapidlyexpandingaerospace and composite markets.
