AIRLIFT (Additive IndustRiaLIsation for Future Technology)

AIRLIFT将使AM（增材制造）技术成熟，成为“原料进-产品出”的工厂。最先进的AM是基于为原型而不是批量生产而开发的机器。目前可用的设备是不可扩展的，也不适合定位在一个高效的工厂，其中完整的工艺链是链接的。AM技术是构建产品的核心，但在整个链条中，它只是许多过程步骤中的一个。

AIRLIFT will mature AM (Additive Manufacturing) technology towards a ‘feed stock in – products out’ factory. State-of-art AM is based around machines developed for prototyping and not for serial production. The current available equipment is not scalable, nor fit to be positioned in an efficient factory where the complete process chain is linked. The AM technology is the core to build products but in the total chain it is just one process step of many.
