- Additional information
- This work demonstrated how to modify manufacturing strategies to improve part geometrical accuracy with an addition analysis of material quality. The insights gained were used by the original equipment manufacturer Arcam, based in Sweden (now part of GE Additive), to develop new manufacturing strategies (U. Ackelid, Technical Manager, ulf.ackelid@arcam.com ). It was supported by the EPSRC (EP/L016273/1, DTC in Future Metals Manufacturing, 2014-2022; EP/F007906/1, £2.26m, “Multiscale x-ray imaging facility for monitoring and modelling structural evolution in situ”, 2008-2012; EP/F028431/1, £1.37m, “Residual Stress & Damage Characterisation”, 2008-2014).
