Rapid Manufactured Custom-fit Products Kicks Off in Birmingham UK

Kick Off meeting of one of the Main European Research Projects will take place next 21^st&22^nd September in DELCAM plc. Facilities

17 Sept 2004 -- Custom-Fit is a major new investment by Europe in the future of manufacturing technology. This major research project was selected over more than 200 proposals presented last year to the principal EU research program.

The consortium involved in Custom-Fit, a sixteen million Euro EU sponsored project, aims to bring about a change in manufacturing technology for the 21^st century has its kick off meeting at Delcam in Birmingham UK on 21^st September.

Custom-Fit brings together over 30 partners from across Europe to research and develop a new manufacturing process where products will be printed from different materials using new machines capable of varying the grade and type of the material within a single component. A single component may be composed of part plastic and part metal with a graded mixture of material in between.

The four and a half year project is focusing upon products that fit the human body such as surgical bone implants, helmets, prosthesis and sports grips. The customised products manufactured by this new process will improve the quality of life of European customers and will open a step-change in manufacturing to the new century.
