Bulk materials are cheap, this means they can be used inefficiently with over-specification and high levels of production scrap. In response UK FIRES will eliminate waste by revealing the full range of options for design and production, identifying and amplifying best practice using technologies available today.
Software tools to enumerate all options for design and delivery of resource intensive goods with today’s technologies will be developed and commercialised. This opportunity mapping will identify new methods of design and manufacture which improve on existing best practices.
