The ultimate aim of the project is to utilize an additive manufacturing approach, specifically Selective Laser Melting (SLM) of metallic components, to ensure the design, manufacture and distribution of fully optimized automotive/aerospace components are more sustainable with a significantly reduced carbon footprint.This is mainly a consequence of conventional processes that restrict our current design, manufacture and supply chains. Manufacturing Engineering will apply state-of-the-art Rapid Manufacturing (RM) techniques.
