- Additional information
- This research incorporating design, modelling, manufacturing and operational performance, supported by InnovateUK (Ref: 101650) and industry-sponsored PGR students at Lancaster (Croft Additive Manufacturing Ltd) has led to the commercialisation of novel (application-tailored), integrated filtration media with variable aperture size, fabricated using powder bed fusion technology. This results in increased filtration efficiency and reduction in energy demand. Additional funding secured through EPSRC IAA expands this work with collaboration of South China University of Technology (Prof Di Wang; scut061389@163.com / mewdlaser@scut.edu.cn) bringing the first Di-Metal AM technology to the UK, operational at Croft AM Ltd .
