In the 5g application field, how to remotely detect and analyze damage to the aircraft? For the domestic large aircraft parts, how to break through the 3D printing design, manufacturing and testing technology? With the need to reduce costs, how can high-risk waste water and exhaust gas discharged during the manufacture of commercial aircraft be recycled? Facing the exploration of these commercial aircraft fields, on April 13, China Commercial Aircraft Co., Ltd. and Shanghai University of Technology formally signed a strategic cooperation framework agreement. According to the agreement, in addition to scientific research cooperation, the two sides will continue to explore new ideas for school-enterprise cooperation in the fields of talent training, international cooperation, and organizational structure.
A commercial aircraft is composed of millions of parts, and the design and manufacture of each part is a project of excellence. Since its establishment, the Additive Manufacturing Research Institute of Shanghai University of Technology has begun in-depth cooperative research with COMAC on the development of additive manufacturing technologies for civil aircraft parts and components, and has formed phased practical results.
The titanium alloy parts manufactured by fuse additive manufacturing abroad have been installed on Boeing 787 aircraft, but there are still great difficulties in the introduction of related technologies and equipment. Therefore, the Additive Manufacturing Research Institute of Shanghai University of Technology and COMAC Shanghai Aircraft Design and Research Institute jointly undertaken a research project of additive manufacturing technology for titanium alloy parts fuses. Using this technology for related parts manufacturing can make relevant The parts manufacturing cycle is shortened by 50% and the cost is reduced by 30%. Since the project started in 2019, it has completed the research and exploration of basic material technology, and is currently exploring the way of industrialization.
Since 2018, COMAC and Shanghai University of Technology have carried out joint research in the fields of terahertz and other optical related technologies, system engineering, additive manufacturing and other characteristic research directions and technical applications. In 2019, the National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Center, COMAC Shanghai Aircraft Manufacturing Co., Ltd., China Commercial Development Shanghai Commercial Aviation Engine Manufacturing Co., Ltd., and Shanghai University of Technology jointly established the "National Additive Manufacturing Innovation Center Shanghai Aviation Innovation Center and Shanghai Zeng "Innovation Research Institute of Timber Manufacturing Aviation" with the aim of enabling the development of China's aviation manufacturing industry innovation through "industry-university-research" resource collaboration In the spring of 2020, Shanghai University of Technology and COMAC focused on major national strategic needs and local economic development issues, took the initiative to plan ahead, and established a comprehensive cooperative relationship.
Wu Jianyong, Secretary of the Party Committee of Shanghai University of Technology, expressed the hope that on the basis of early cooperation, the two parties will sincerely join hands, precise docking, fine cooperation, and further close cooperation, expand cooperation, deepen cooperation in personnel training, scientific research, international exchange, and continue to explore New ideas for enterprise cooperation will jointly promote the high-quality development of China's large aircraft industry and the high-level construction of Shanghai University of Technology.
