Investigate and develop the use of Additive and Direct Digital Manufacturing with Vestas Blades.
Identify and discuss the various types of Additive manufacturing materials and processing machines and their suitability and limitations of being used within the wind turbine manufacturing processes.
Critically evaluate the specified manufacturing capabilities of the selected machine(s) against a quality criterion that fulfils the manufacturing requirements of parts and components.
Design a system and global network that enables the printing of parts and components at number of global locations within the Vestas network, these components being localised in a central database.
Write a technical report to key stake holders supporting the introduction of additive manufacturing as technology with growth potential within Vestas, including the potential for upscaling to larger parts and the associated risks.
