上海交通大学特种材料研究所与德国亚琛增材制造中心（ACAM）启动增材制造合作研究
近日，上海交通大学特种材料研究所（ISM）与德国亚琛增材制造中心（ACAM）签署合作备忘录（MoU），宣布双方将在增材制造技术研发、应用研究和教育培训等方面开展合作。
增材制造国际交流里程碑
该项目作为ACAM U-LINK的一部分，旨在建立 ACAM 与中国大学合作伙伴之间强大而持久的联结与合作。据ACAM 董事Johannes Henrich Schleifenbaum教授介绍，“ACAM U-LINK 旨在通过与高校和科研机构的研究合作与学术交流，共同创造协同创新效应，推动增材制造研发能力的发展，并共同为增材制造世界的复杂性导航”。
ACAM U-LINK战略伙伴关系背后的愿景是为双边项目和以应用为导向的成果研究奠定坚实的基础，这将有助于科学研究及其工业化应用的进步。
“大学和研究机构之间的国际合作对中国的大学的影响力建设来说非常重要，”上海交通大学特种材料研究所所长王浩伟教授强调说。“通过结合彼此的优势，产生对增材制造发展有用的科学成果，我们将能够为增材制造领域做出更多更快的贡献，重要的是，我们希望通过这项努力促进我们的研究向工业实践转化。”
科学研究与企业研发需求之间的联系是中国以及全球许多其他市场的重要话题。成功实现科研成果向工业应用平稳转化是充满挑战的，除了在研究方面不断创新外，在创新实力和转化速度方面必须具有优势。事实上，研发并非是对外隔绝的，企业端对应用研究的深入联合参与，会对创新能力和速度做出重大贡献。这正是ACAM亚琛增材制造中心的优势，由亚琛工业大学的研究人员所打造的ACAM增材制造中心已成为增材制造相关研究和工业应用需求之间的桥梁。

The Institute of Special Materials (ISM) at Shanghai Jiaotong University and the Aachen Center for Additive Manufacturing (ACAM) from Germany announced their cooperation in research and development, applied research as well as education and training for additive manufacturing.
The parties signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) as part of the U-Link (university link) initiative which seeks to establish a strong and lasting collaboration between ACAM and university partners in China. As the name of the initiative suggests, in addition to ACAM's collaboration with selected universities, ACAM U-LINK is about acting as a hub for exchange between all university partners connected to ACAM through such agreements: “Our goal is to create synergies and innovation together, so that we can drive the development of competence in R&D in AM and navigate the complexity of the AM world in a joint effort.”, explains Prof. Dr.-Ing. Johannes Henrich Schleifenbaum, Managing Director of ACAM.
The U-Link collaboration, the partners and the vision behind the strategic partnership provide a strong foundation for bilateral projects and application-oriented results that will contribute to both the advancement of science and its industrial application.
“The international cooperation between universities and research institutions are very important for China’s universities,” emphasizes Prof. Dr. Haowei Wang, Dean of the Institute of Special Materials at Shanghai Jiaotong University. “We will be able to contribute more and faster to the field of AM thanks to learning from each other’s strengths, by producing scientific results that are useful to the future of AM and importantly we hope with this effort to facilitate the transition of our research into industrial practice.”
The connection between scientific research and industrial development is an important topic in China as well as in many other markets worldwide. Organizations and markets that have succeeded in establishing a smooth transition to industrial application in addition to constant innovation in research have an advantage in terms of innovative strength and speed. In fact, the deep involvement of industrial partners in applied research even up to the level of joint pre-competitive R&D contributes significantly to innovation power and speed.
ACAM was spun off by researchers of the RWTH Aachen University to build a bridge between AM relevant research and industrial application. From this perspective it will be especially interesting to see if such an ecosphere and spirit of collaboration can also be developed in the setting in China and produce the much-wanted results.
About the partners:
The Institute of Special Materials (ISM) is part of the School of Materials Science and Engineering at Shanghai Jiaotong University. The research subjects of ISM are mainly focused on the forming and processing of special materials. In recent years, some dramatic breakthroughs have been achieved, specialized in the fields of in-situ synthesis technology, interface and performance, as well as forming and processing, which provide new methodology to the development and application of metal matrix composites (MMCs). In the direction of additive manufacturing, ISM currently has 4 metal laser selective melting 3D printers, 1 blue laser powder deposition additive manufacturing system, 1 arc fuse equipment, and 1 gas atomized metal powder preparation equipment. A series of innovative research results have been achieved in metal material development, powder/wire preparation, and forming technology.
ACAM Aachen Center for Additive Manufacturing is based on the RWTH Aachen Campus and pools resources and facilitates industry’s access to the Additive Manufacturing expertise of leading scientific and research institutions associated with RWTH Aachen University and the Fraunhofer society such as IPT and ILT. ACAM covers the entire process chain, from design stage through to quality control and focuses on topics such as process chain automation, the development of customized materials, increasing productivity and reducing turnaround times. Additionally, ACAM offers opportunities for joint research and development, a sophisticated training and education program, as well as an online platform enabling industry members to build business connections and exchange practical knowledge.
