The I-Form Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre addresses materials processing research within a manufacturing environment. A particular focus of the Centre is on Additive Manufacturing (AM), allowing the production of highly customised 3-D printed components with superior quality and performance. This is achieved through closely interconnecting a range of advanced digital technologies, with the most fundamental scientific/technological aspects of AM. In addition to advanced process diagnostics, a further objective is the development of advanced process simulation, control and feedback systems.
