The team at AML Sheffield is delighted to announce it has secured funding from the Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) Programme. This achievement is a testament to AML’s commitment to advanced precision manufacturing and innovation within the aerospace sector.
“Project STAR” is a revolutionary collaborative project which aims to develop and verify a novel method of metallic additive manufacturing, specifically targeted at the aerospace industry. The team will produce representative parts for aircraft components and validate the material characteristics against the industry expected standard.
This competitive funding programme is designed to maximise benefits to SMEs and to support and encourage industrial investment into the aerospace sector and its supply chain, through the funding of innovative and high impact projects. The programme is managed by the Dept for Business and Trade (DBT) Innovate UK (IUK) and Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI).
The funding will play a crucial role in supporting AML Sheffield’s cutting-edge projects, enhancing manufacturing capabilities, and driving forward technological advancements that will strengthen the UK’s aerospace supply chain.
Alex Cotton, Research and Development Manager at AML comments “We are delighted to have secured this funding and to be working in partnership with FORG3D and The AMRC, both our neighbours now on the Advanced Manufacturing Park (AMP) in Rotherham. With our combined manufacturing capabilities and commitment to innovation, we are predicting exciting times ahead.”
