Why Additive Manufacturing?
• It’s an exciting technology – Scope to transform part manufacture for
many industries
• Our customers are asking for support – They need systems to manage AM-related data
• Industry needs match Granta strengths – Manage (large volumes of) materials data – Handle complex inter-relationships between data – Bridge multiple disciplines: R&D, part design, simulation, production, supply chain
– Ensure traceability (e.g., for future certification / qualification) – Do all of the above with practical, usable tools

AMAZE
• Additive Manufacturing Aiming Towards Zero Waste & Efficient Production of High-Tech Metal Products
• Objectives – To rapidly produce large defect-free additively-manufactured (AM)
metallic components up to 2m in size, – Ideally with close to zero waste. – For use in the following high-tech sectors: Aeronautics Space Automotive Nuclear fusion Tooling.
CONFIDENTIAL
The AMAZE Consortium
• The largest and most ambitious consortium ever assembled on this topic • 28 partners • €20M ~ $24.6M ~ £15.7M • 4.5 years (Jan 2013 – Jun 2016) • AMAZE 2 already being discussed
CONFIDENTIAL
Granta’s role in AMAZE
• Providing an overarching materials information management system for the consortium – Based on a new Granta AM Schema + additional AMAZE-specific
schema components
• Partners use GRANTA MI as a single go-to source for – All materials & process data – All properties measured for process refinement – All data needed for inter-partner coordination on the above – Enabled by use of Remote Import technology
• Integration with simulation activities within the project to enable effective design of AM parts
CONFIDENTIAL
Benefits for the Consortium
• Data gathering is standardised across the project
• Less data is duplicated
• More effective benchmarking
• Greater value can be leveraged from the data – More data across more areas – More eyes looking at it – Reveals opportunities that may otherwise be hidden
Schema Requirements
Feed materials • Bulk properties • Simulation input data • Microstructure
Processes (Machines and simulations) • Type and capabilities details • Processing parameters stores • Project-specific data
Fabricated parts • Characterization and measurements
