In-situ metrology for additive and high throughput manufacturing

许多现代制造方法依赖于快速评估诊断，以使用经济和节能的工艺提供准确的产品。该研究质疑一种新的、新颖的表征技术（焦点结构技术）是否可以集成到许多当代制造工艺中，从而影响这些工艺的显着成本和节能。该研究项目旨在研究新型X射线表征技术在现代制造过程中的快速评估诊断应用。该项目具有高影响力出版物的潜力，并有可能在几个行业中实现过程控制的一步变化。该项目将寻求解决支撑新技术的科学和工程的基本原理，以实现这一目标，主要研究内容将包括理论建模（射线追踪和蒙特-卡罗）、工程和实验测试（设置新的摄像机/探测器进行评估）。这项工作将与制造业和制药业合作伙伴一起进行。

Many modern manufacturing methods are dependent upon rapid assessment diagnostics to provide accurate products using economic and energy efficient processes. The research questions whether a new, novel characterisation technique (focal construct technology) can be integrated into a number of contemporary manufacturing processes and thus affect significant cost and energy saving for those processes. The research project aims to investigate the application of novel x-ray characterisation techniques for rapid assessment diagnostics in a number of contemporary manufacturing processes. This project has the potential for high impact publications and the possibility of a step change in process control within several industries.The project will seek to solve the fundamental principles underpinning the science and engineering of novel techniques to achieve this, the main research elements to be undertaken will include both theoretical modelling (ray-tracing and Monte-Carlo), engineering and experimental testing (setting up a new camera/detector for assessments. The work will be undertaken with manufacturing and pharmaceutical industrial partners.
