A Platform for Hybrid Manufacturing Process research

混合制造涉及建立在跨技术流程平台上的数字驱动和无模板制造流程。我们小组关注的是这种意识形态的下一代如何实现真正的变革能力。我们的混合制造工艺研究是建立在这样一个前提之上的，即通过在单一平台内结合多种工艺技术，同时结合物理科学（如功能材料）的新兴研究，可以实现具有多方面复杂性和变革能力的未来几代产品。其目的是提供一个指数增长的能力，为复杂的制造和由此产生的价值的大小。我们的开创性研究已得到许多知名政党和国际同行的认可。我们的研究团队拥有独特的研究能力，这在很大程度上归功于我们招募和发展了一批优秀的研究人员和我们的一套全球独特的实验制造设备。我们目前活动的增长和势头，以及我们未来研究和创新的管道，现在需要一个支持平台，以确保和保持我们的世界领先地位。它将使我们能够加强我们领先研究的战略方法，使我们能够继续塑造和利用新兴机会，并进一步培养下一代真正的跨学科研究领导者。这将确保英国在这个令人兴奋和有价值的制造工艺研究领域保持领先地位。

Hybrid Manufacturing concerns digitally-driven and template-less manufacturing processes which are founded on cross-technology process platforms. Our group focuses on how truly transformative capability may be realised by the next generations of this ideology. Our Hybrid Manufacturing Process research is founded on the premise that future generations of products, with multi-faceted complexity and transformative capability may be realised through the combination of multiple process technologies within a singular platform, while incorporating emerging research from the physical sciences (such as functional materials). This aims to provide an exponential increase in the capability for complex manufacturing and the magnitude of resultant value.Our pioneering research has been recognised by a number of eminent parties and international peers. Our research group possess unique research capability, which is significantly due to the recruitment and development of a cohort of outstanding researchers and our suite of globally unique experimental manufacturing apparatus. The growth and momentum of our current activity, along with our pipeline of future research and innovation, now warrants a supporting platform in order to secure and maintain our world-leading position. It will enable us to stengthen our strategic approach to leading research, allow us to continue to shape and capitalise on emerging opportunities, and further develop the next generation of truly interdisciplinary research leaders. This will ensure that the UK remains at the forefront of this exciting and valuable field of manufacturing process research.
