With valuable knowledge and intellectual property in the area of 3D printing, we also have a high reliance on technology both software and hardware. In this context we believe an effective cyber security strategy will provide us with many benefits. As well as directly protecting HiETA business in terms of current design contracts and development projects. potential investors, customers and suppliers will all be gained through improvement to the cyber security at HiETA.

The SLaMMiT (Selective Laser Manufacture Micro-Turbine) aims to develop a new micro-turbine employing Selective Laser Melting, a metal powder bed fusion version of Additive Manufacture. The micro-turbine will initially be targeted at the market for range extenders for electric vehicles, but it will also be suitable for micro-chp, concentrating solar power, and waste heat to power conversion, including automotive auxiliary power units operating off the waste exhaust heat from the vehicle's main internal combustion engine.

The Ishisuki project sees HiETA team up with NPL to develop understanding in the mechanical measurement methods for complex additively manufactured thermal management products where standard test methods are not appropriate. The project will address methods of quality control and establishing process variation limits which will enable HiETA to reach higher technology readiness levels for products developed for the motorsport, aerospace and energy sectors. These developments will provide a significant boost to HiETA's competitiveness within these markets.

The TACDAM project will perform targeted Additive Manufacturing (AM) pre- and post-processvalue chain technology developments, develop an adaptive quality assurance model, introduceparametric design as a key process variable and demonstrate the capability to deliver cost andquality outcomes at Manufacturing Readiness Level 6 to the automotive industry.

This project aims to utilise Additive Manufacturing (AM) to address the key issues with current electric motor design to deliver step changes in power density. The consortium will build upon the existing class-leading motor architectures from Equipmake and utilise targeted cooling of rotor and stator components. HiETA bring their expertise in thermal management and additive manufacturing, with Altair developing their multi-disciplinary optimisation workflows. The consortium will develop and run a prototype system on a bench test station within Equipmake test facilities.
