High resolution electron beam melting (HiResEBM)

Start date: Oct 1, 2011, End date: Sep 30, 2015,

HiResEBM is a partnership between EU SMEs and RTD providers with the aim of developing an electron beam melting (EBM) additive manufacturing process to enable the fabrication of high resolution medical implants with optimised porous structures directly from metal powder. Currently the design of medical implants with porous structures is limited by production technologies not being able to implemen ...

INNOVATIVE SMART COMPOSITE MOULDS FOR COST-EFFECTIVE MANUFACTURING OF PLASTIC AND COMPOSITE COMPONENTS (COEUS-TITAN)

Start date: Mar 1, 2011, End date: Feb 28, 2014,

Currently, composite moulds are mainly used in open-mould manufacturing processes and in Light RTM (a low-pressure variation of RTM). The proposed project aims to extend the applicability of composite moulds into the more demanding regime of RTM production, as well as to extend the application of the open mould and light RTM techniques in the field of advanced resin systems, where elevated tempera ...

High Productivity Electron Beam Melting Additive Manufacturing Development for the Part Production Systems Market (FastEBM)

Start date: Dec 1, 2011, End date: Nov 30, 2013,

Electron beam melting additive manufacture is used to produce successive layers of a part in a powder bed and offers the ability to produce components closest to their final dimensions, with good surface finish. At this time the process is faster than any other technique of comparable quality, however the parts are not produced at sufficient rate to make them economically viable for any but very h ...

Continuous health monitoring and non-destructive assessment of composites and composite repairs on surface transport applications (ComPair)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Nov 30, 2011,

Composites are used in a wide range of applications in surface transport. Damage to composite components in vehicles and surface transport applications is not always visible to the naked eye and the extent of damage is best determined for structural components by suitable non-destructive and evaluation (NDT & E) techniques. A detailed NDT and/or health monitoring procedure for proper damage assess ...

Development of a condition monitoring system for tidal stream generator structures (TidalSense)

Start date: Sep 1, 2009, End date: Aug 31, 2011,

Due to the increasing demand for renewable energy, a great deal of effort is being put into the development of tidal power generation systems. As these systems go in to commercial production and service, it is important to consider and develop inspection and condition monitoring techniques and systems. Condition monitoring of such systems could be used to greatly reduce the risk of failures and th ...
