A Novel Manufacturing Process The project demonstrates an innovative manufacturing method for customised mass production. In the research part of the project an innovative method to transfer the new manufacturing technology to the industry is developed. Demonstration part: a full scale prototype of a new and innovative manufacturing process will be built. Using this process, parts can be produced in volume within hours of finishing the design work in a CAD system. Research part: a new and innovative transfer method will be developed (IVF-ITM, Innovation Transfer Method). This method combines two important factors for successful innovation transfer: (1) Investment in new production equipment; (2) Business system reengineering. Only by combining these two activities a rapid take up of new manufacturing processes can be achieved. The innovative transfer method will be described in and promoted by IVF-ITM Guidelines.
