Objectif Metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) technology has developed rapidly in the last decade and has demonstrated significant potential to reduce the costs and improve the quality and efficiency of aerospace components. This can be realised through improved design freedom and light-weighting via topology optimisation, improved buy-to-fly ratios, and a reduction of tooling cost – all of which have a demonstrable impact on the carbon footprint and waste in manufacture. The “Holy Grail” of metal additive manufacturing is to manufacture reliable, high-performance metal parts with no or minimal need of post-processing. The key to unlocking this is achieving geometry-specific process parameters that enable a near-uniform thermal history and hence minimise post-processing requirements.As the European AM industry and design optimisation applications are growing, lead time and financial costs associated with optimising process parameters to ensure high-quality AlSi10Mg parts with complex geometry is a significant barrier to widespread adoption.PASSPORT seeks to remove this barrier and advance the state-of-the-art through the delivery of an ambitious experimental, analytical and software development programme. PASSPORT will:(1) Undertake a detailed characterisation of AlSi10Mg SLM parts with a unique laboratory setup (2)Employ advanced process simulations to understand and quantify the relationship between different scan strategies and part attributes.(3)Develop state-of-the-art, optimised process parameters that vary with local part topology and geometry characteristics to ensure homogeneous mechanical properties, high density and a smooth build surface.(4)Produce a bespoke, stand-alone process parameter selection software solution for AlSi10Mg SLM parts that can communicate with multiple vendors’ SLM machines.(5)Improve the time-to-market for SLM parts by removing significant cost and time-intensive burdens associated with optimising SLM builds Champ scientifique natural sciencesmathematicspure mathematicstopologynatural sciencescomputer and information sciencessoftwaresoftware developmentnatural sciencesmathematicspure mathematicsgeometryengineering and technologymechanical engineeringmanufacturing engineeringadditive manufacturingengineering and technologymaterials engineeringmetallurgy Programme(s) H2020-EU.3.4. - SOCIETAL CHALLENGES - Smart, Green And Integrated Transport Main Programme H2020-EU.3.4.5.4. - ITD Airframe Thème(s) JTI-CS2-2017-CFP06-AIR-02-47 - Part specific process optimization in SLM Appel à propositions H2020-CS2-CFP06-2017-01 Voir d’autres projets de cet appel Régime de financement CS2-RIA - Research and Innovation action Coordinateur TWI LIMITED Contribution nette de l'UE € 405 368,75 Adresse GRANTA PARK GREAT ABINGTON CB21 6AL Cambridge Royaume-Uni Voir sur la carte Région East of England East Anglia Cambridgeshire CC Type d’activité Private for-profit entities (excluding Higher or Secondary Education Establishments) Liens Contacter l’organisation Opens in new window Site web Opens in new window Participation aux programmes de R&I de l'UE Opens in new window Réseau de collaboration HORIZON Opens in new window Coût total € 405 368,75 Participants (1) Trier par ordre alphabétique Trier par contribution nette de l'UE Tout développer Tout réduire GRANTA DESIGN LTD Royaume-Uni Contribution nette de l'UE € 194 491,25 Adresse CLIFTON ROAD 62 RUSTAT HOUSE CB1 7EG Cambridge Voir sur la carte PME L’entreprise s’est définie comme une PME (petite et moyenne entreprise) au moment de la signature de la convention de subvention.
