Utilising existing TWI datasets and open source software, TWI will demonstrate the benefits of accelerating the adoption of digital technologies for engineering applications, leveraging TWI’s multi-disciplinary expertise across the technology sections.
TWI is developing capabilities for the automated key-wording of new Weldasearch articles through the application of natural language processing. Automating this process will save time and facilitate an improved search capability to interrogate past reports, enabling greater access to knowledge.
Addressing one of the fundamental challenges in additive manufacturing, TWI is developing the capability to automate the image processing of micrographs and characterisation of additively manufactured samples. This work will lead to improvements in the understanding of the link between the process parameters and properties of additively manufactured samples.
