📢 Reflecting on a successful #JIMTOF 2024 for Aerospace-X! Last week, we had the opportunity to showcase the Aerospace-X project at the 32nd Japan International Machine Tool Fair (JIMTOF 2024) in Tokyo. Our exhibit, hosted at the booth of our project partner DMG MORI, highlighted key solutions for enhancing quality management and traceability in the aerospace supply chain. ✈ In collaboration with Fraunhofer-Institut für Produktionstechnologie IPT, gemineers GmbH, and DMG MORI, and supported by the Manufacturing Technology Institute – MTI der RWTH Aachen, we presented a practical showcase centered around the manufacturing of a turbine disc made from IN718 alloy. The presence at the exhibition complemented Prof. Thomas Bergs' keynote speech at the scientific conference #IMEC2024 (The 20th International Machine Tool Engineers' Conference), which took place at the same time. The demonstration covered key stages of the manufacturing process, including turning, milling, drilling, reaming, and broaching. These processes are part of an extensive manufacturing supply chain involving over 40 individual manufacturing and quality assurance steps, necessary for producing such critical rotating aero engine parts. By capturing and analyzing data throughout these stages, we created a comprehensive digital replica of the turbine disc, known as a Digital Twin. This enabled us to visualize potential manufacturing errors, demonstrating how potential non-conformities across the supply chain can be identified and addressed effectively. This demonstration is a vital component of our case study on "End-to-End Quality in Aerospace Manufacturing." We extend our gratitude to all project partners and contributors who made this showcase possible. The collaboration between research institutes, digital innovators, and industry leaders demonstrates the power of joint efforts in advancing aerospace manufacturing technologies.
