AIRLIFT (Additive IndustRiaLIsation for Future Technology)
Lead Participant:
GKN AEROSPACE SERVICES LIMITED
Abstract
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.
