IMCRC - Advanced Manufacturing - Additive Manufacturing. The Additive Manufacturing Research Group (AMRG) has pioneered the use of layer-based manufacturing techniques for end-use parts.
For some products Additive Manufacturing could offer the perfect manufacturing solution by creating new UK businesses, employment, wealth generation and economic growth. Professor Richard Hague From left to right: Dr Russ Harris; Dr Chris Tuck; Prof. Phill Dickens; Dr Neil Hopkinson; Prof. Richard Hague Background The AMRG was the first research group in the world to undertake systematic research in the field and has set the agenda in terms of its research approach, which has now been recognised and replicated internationally.
Research has been undertaken in processes (polymers, metals), design and design systems, as well as business implementation effects. The Group The Additive Manufacturing Research Group Group has over 45 dedicated staff including 5 academics, supported by post-doctoral research associates, PhD students and post-graduate research assistants.

PA_Thomas_Donnellan.pdf (application/pdf Object) Facility will help businesses to harness 3D printing technique. 10 June 2011 Exeter University has taken delivery of a machine that will place its Centre for Additive Layer Manufacturing (CALM) at the forefront of 3D printing.
CALM, a £2.6m facility that will officially launch later this year, will enable businesses, entrepreneurs and researchers to harness the potential of the new 3D printing technique. This is a new production technique that can create complex or bespoke parts and complete products by building them up one layer at a time in specialist machines. The facility has taken delivery of a machine that allows 3D printing using a type of high-performance plastic that can be used as an alternative to metal due to its strength and heat resistance. According to Exeter University, the EOSINT P800 is the only machine in the UK that can manufacture high-performance thermoplastics (such as PEEK and PEK) through the additive-layer process.
‘There are so many practical applications for it and yet it’s a new and developing area.
