The networking project AdvManuNet has been started recently to accelerate the process of establishing an European Metrology Network (EMN) on Advanced Manufacturing. EMNs are intended by EURAMET, the association of metrology institutes in Europe, to provide a sustainable structure for ongoing stakeholder interaction in different thematic areas. Advanced manufacturing has been identified by the European Commission (EC) as one of six Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) with applications in multiple industries. Various EURAMET projects have partly addressed metrology needs for advanced manufacturing. However, a high-level coordination of the metrology community is currently absent and limits the impact of metrology developments on advanced manufacturing. AdvManuNet will address these limits by establishing a single hub for stakeholder consultation, a knowledge base on research results, and a strategic agenda for research and training to push forward advanced manufacturing and related KETs and strengthen Europe’s position in advanced manufacturing via the EMN

EMNs are intended by EURAMET, the association of metrology institutes in Europe, to provide a sustainable structure for ongoing stakeholder interaction in different thematic areas. Advanced manufacturing has been identified by the European Commission (EC) as one of six Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) with applications in multiple industries. Various EURAMET projects have partly addressed metrology needs for advanced manufacturing. However, a high-level coordination of the metrology community is currently absent and limits the impact of metrology developments on advanced manufacturing. AdvManuNet will address these limits by establishing a single hub for stakeholder consultation, a knowledge base on research results, and a strategic agenda for research and training to push forward advanced manufacturing and related KETs and strengthen Europe’s position in advanced manufacturing via the EMN.  Advanced Manufacturing, Key Enabling Technology (KET), Strategic Research Agenda (SRA), European Metrology Network (EMN)  1. Introduction The EC has identified Key Enabling Technologies (KET) as the basis for innovation [1]: ”KETs are a group of six technologies: micro and nanoelectronics, nanotechnology, industrial biotechnology, advanced materials, photonics, and advanced manufacturing technologies. They have applications in multiple industries and help tackle societal challenges. Countries and regions that fully exploit KETs will be at the forefront of creating advanced and sustainable economies”.     Figure 1. Advanced Manufacturing and its related Key Enabling Technologies (KET)   In [2] it was stated that “Manufacturing, with its approximately 20 industrial sectors, is the backbone of the European economy.” And that “Manufacturing 2030 reflects a time scale in which a fundamental change – initiated by research activities and technical innovations – can be reached.” The European Metrology Network on advanced manufacturing directly addresses the above-mentioned topics to strengthen the European position in the KET advanced manufacturing by accelerating the development of innovative metrology focused on the needs of advanced manufacturing and optimising stakeholder interaction with the metrology community. Innovative developments in advanced materials resulting in new or improved material properties are often related to enhancement by the addition of nanomaterials. These advanced materials can then be utilised in advanced manufacturing processes to realise new or optimised products. One example is the use of Carbon Nanotube Enhanced Composite Materials for aerospace applications [3]. Another example is the development of additive manufacturing technologies based on the flexible processing of raw powder materials, offering a completely new class of applications in advanced manufacturing [4]. However, it also puts challenges on the integration of additively manufactured components into established manufacturing chains within the framework of flexible manufacturing infrastructures, described in concepts like Industry 4.0 linking Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS). There are many outstanding metrology challenges in this aspect of advanced manufacturing alone (e.g. temperature control in the powder beds) and optimised input from the metrology community to this highly innovative area of the different KETs is essential. According to [5], 2.1 million enterprises were classified as “manufacturing” in the EU in 2015 with nearly 30 million employees. In addition to companies, different organisations on the national and European level exist, which focus on manufacturing topics (societies, institutes, universities). On the EURAMET level, some Technical Committees (TCs) have a strong impact on advanced manufacturing, like TC-Length, TC-Temperature, TC-Mass and related quantities, however, to date there is not yet a single contact point for all issues of relevance to the KET advanced manufacturing and related KET. Within the EMRP and EMPIR programmes several joint research projects (JRP) covering topics of advanced manufacturing were successfully completed, most within the thematic programme “Metrology for Industry” [6]. Several of these JRPs addressed objectives, which required expertise from different EURAMET TCs to address the challenging development targets with innovative approaches. However, neither the results of the EMRP and EMPIR research projects nor the H2020 research projects have yet been systematically analysed with respect to their potential for impact on the KET advanced manufacturing and its related KET advanced materials and KET nanotechnology.   Optimising the uptake of relevant research results in important KET areas is the main objective of the knowledge sharing programme. Along with the preparation of the EMRP and EMPIR programmes, the EURAMET TC’s have developed different roadmaps describing metrology challenges to be addressed in specific topics. However, a proper roadmapping approach for metrology demands in advanced manufacturing and its related KET topics does not yet exist. This roadmap should systematically consider the expertise, facilities and research capabilities of several TCs and the input from stakeholder communities including project consortia resulting from public-private-partnership (PPP) programmes, such as e.g. Factories of the Future PPP with the European Factories of the Future Research Association (EFFRA) AdvManuNet will establish a close link to ManuFuture, discussing the impact of metrology on major issues addressed in the strategic document ManuFuture -VISION 2030 [7]. In addition, roadmapping of future metrology requirements has been prepared by various learned societies across Europe (e.g. InstMC [8]). The development of a strategic roadmap will be based on a gap analysis and facilitate the future planning of research, training and service provision in metrology for advanced manufacturing across Europe. 2. Aims of AdvManuNet The overall objective of this joint network project (JNP) is to accelerate the implementation of the future European Metrology Network on advanced manufacturing. The specific aims are: 1. To establish a regular, constructive dialogue and liaison between the project and stakeholders in advanced manufacturing, as well as overlapping areas in advanced materials and nanotechnology. The project should foster new and existing collaborations including those with relevant societies and standardisation bodies. 2. Using the feedback from stakeholders in aim 1, to develop a Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) and roadmaps for advanced manufacturing metrology. The SRA should identify gaps in current metrological capabilities and take into account existing networks and roadmaps. 3. Using the feedback from stakeholders in aim 1, to set up a knowledge-sharing programme for advanced manufacturing stakeholders, in order to promote the dissemination and uptake of results, including those from previous, relevant EMRP and EMPIR projects. This should take into account existing training programmes and include a range of regularly hosted activities, e.g. exchange of researchers, industry focussed events and training courses. 4. Using the feedback from stakeholders in aim 1, to develop a web-based platform for advanced manufacturing stakeholders. The platform should include easy access to European metrology capabilities and links to other relevant European and international networks, as well as a service desk. It should be developed in a manner that allows it to be maintained by a future EMN. 5. To develop a plan for a joint and sustainable European metrology infrastructure for advanced manufacturing via a European Metrology Network. The plan should be completed within 12 months of the start of the project and should (i) use coordination and smart specialisation of capabilities (ii) align with other running initiatives and projects, (iii) promote the development of emerging member states, and (iv) consider how to extend collaboration to third countries.

Outlook To achieve the aims of the project, the establishment of a regular, constructive dialogue and liaison between the project and stakeholders in advanced manufacturing is vital. One forum to be used for the stakeholder dialogue are international conferences with a focus on advanced manufacturing, such as the euspen international conference and exhibition (ICE) and the euspen special interest group meetings. It is planned to have workshops and training events organised at future euspen events – along with similar interactions at other suitable conferences and meetings as well as a targeted questionnaire sent to the identified stakeholders.  The aim of the questionnaire is to receive  detailed feedback from the stakeholder community to address the identified metrology needs in the area of advanced manufacturing. The work will be supported by a stakeholder committee representing different industrial sectors of relevance for advanced manufacturiung.

The European Commission (EC) has identified Advanced Manufacturing as one of six Key Enabling Technologies (KETs) with applications across multiple industrial sectors. In particular, it can be thought of as a connecting hub for the other EC identified KETs of Micro- and Nanoelectronics, Nanotechnology, Advanced Materials, Industrial Biotechnology and Photonics, since it often acts as the enabler for these technologies. However, Advanced Manufacturing can be considered to extend beyond these identified KETs to a wider spectrum of industrial sectors. The progress of Advanced Manufacturing, which uses emerging knowledge and innovations is strongly reliant on the development of metrology capabilities. EURAMET, the association of metrology institutes in Europe, has established metrology research programs to address the metrology needs in different thematic areas, including metrology for industry. However, in order to leverage the benefits of and increase the impact of these developments on the wider industrial landscape, a high-level coordination of the metrology community supporting the Advanced Manufacturing landscape is required. This current gap in coordination aims to be fulfilled by the establishment of European Metrology Networks (EMNs), which are intended by EURAMET to provide a sustainable structure for ongoing stakeholder interaction in different thematic areas. The networking project JNP19Net01 AdvManuNet funded by EURAMET for four years starting in June 2020 aims to accelerate the process of establishing a European Metrology Network (EMN) to strengthen Europe’s position in Advanced Manufacturing. The consortium to deliver this project comprises National Metrological Institutes (PTB, NPL, INRIM, RISE, CMI, METAS, TUBITAK, GUM), Designated Institutes (BAM), University partners (Politechnico di Torino) and the European Society for Precision Engineering and Nanotechnology (euspen) from across Europe.The AdvManuNet project will address the need for a sustainable EMN on Advanced Manufacturing through the following specific aims;1. To establish a single hub for regular, constructive dialogue and liaison with stakeholders across the Advanced Manufacturing landscape, as well as overlapping areas in Advanced Materials and Nanotechnology. This engagement extends to relevant societies and standardisation bodies. 2. To develop a Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) and roadmaps for Advanced Manufacturing metrology based on the stakeholder engagement activities. In particular, the SRA will identify the current gaps in metrological capabilities and consider existing networks and roadmaps. 3. To establish a knowledge-sharing program for Advanced Manufacturing stakeholders, which will promote the dissemination and exploitation of the results of the project, including those from previous EU funded research projects. This activity will build on existing training programs and include a range of regularly hosted activities, such as exchange of researchers, industry focused events and training courses.4. To develop a web-based platform for Advanced Manufacturing stakeholders to allow for easy access to European metrology capabilities and connections to other relevant European and international networks. In addition, a service desk will be established to support the stakeholders and the wider advanced manufacturing community with metrology-based needs. A particular requirement to support the sustainability of the network is to assure that this infrastructure and capability can be maintained by a future EMN over the long term. 5. To develop a plan for a joint and sustainable European metrology infrastructure for Advanced Manufacturing via a European Metrology Network. The plan should be completed within 12 months of the start of the project and should use coordination and smart specialisation of capabilities, align with other running initiatives and projects, promote the development of emerging member states, and consider how to extend collaboration to third countries.In order to realise these goals, the project is subdivided into five work packages lead by four institutes.  Broadly the first three work packages address the five aims of the projects, while the other two relate to dissemination of the results and management and coordination of the project. They are as follows;• Dialogue with stakeholders • Strategic road mapping and  139 plan for EMN • Technical infrastructure for   EMN operation • Creating impact • Management and coordination The success of the project will be measured by the following key deliverables over the course of the project and will be overseen by the Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC). The SAC will be comprised of established figures representing the diverse range of industries within the Advanced Manufacturing domain. The key deliverables for the AdvManuNet project are;a. Plan for a joint and sustainable European metrology infrastructure for Advanced Manufacturing via an EMN to be presented to the EURAMET General Assembly 2021. b. Report on the knowledge sharing program for Advanced Manufacturing stakeholders. The program includes promotion of the dissemination and uptake of research results on advanced manufacturing and a range of regularly hosted activities. c. Produce a final list of the metrology needs for Advanced Manufacturing, which includes input from stakeholders, relevant societies and standardisation bodies. d. Report on the final testing of the functionality of the web-based platform for Advanced Manufacturing stakeholders. This platform includes access to European metrology capabilities, links to other relevant European and international networks, as well as a service desk to answer stakeholders’ questions. e. Develop a Strategic Research Agenda (SRA) for metrology for Advanced Manufacturing. f. Provide examples of early implementation of the project deliverables by end users and examples of contributions to new or improved international standards.The project has started the early activities which are necessary to establish the scope of the project. In particular, Advanced Manufacturing still does not have a universal and accepted definition, which is needed to establish the boundaries to conventional Manufacturing. The definition which will be used within the project is: Branch of manufacturing that exploits evolving  or emerging knowledge, technologies, methods and capabilities to make and/or provide new or substantially enhanced goods or services, or improve production efficiency or productivity, while ensuring environmental and societal sustainability. However, to assist with the scope definition, a list of keywords and key industrial sectors is also being created. Advanced Manufacturing represents a broad landscape of technologies and industries with both unique and overlapping metrological requirements. Understanding these requirements and identifying the capability gaps is a key early task in the establishment of the Strategic Research Agenda for Metrology for Advanced Manufacturing. An example of the diverse requirements for metrology in Advanced Manufacturing are illustrated for the key technology of Additive Manufacturing. These requirements range from the dimensional characterisation of the feedstock powder through to the temperature measurement of the melt pool via in-situ thermography and the final part dimensional and NDT inspection, including surface roughness with re-entrant features. Figure 1 shows an application of Additive Manufacturing techniques in the area of medical implants using  computed tomography as an advanced  metrology method, developed within the EMPIR project MetAMMI.

The standard had stringent requirements on the manufacturing specifications (form error ≤ 1 µm, roughness ≤ 0.2 µm) and therefore had to be realised using advanced manufacturing techniques, such as jig grinding.
