Abstract
High-end novel materials are the fundamental building blocks for big projects and high-end machinery, while intelligent manufacturing is a crucial route for the manufacturing sector to advance towards high-end development. To satisfy the demands of major equipment for high-end new materials and to improve the manufacturing level of high-end new materials, intelligent manufacturing must be deeply integrated with high-end new material manufacture. In addition to analyzing the features of high-end new materials in high-performance manufacturing, the overall integration and lightweight manufacturing of complex components, and the integration of high-end components with low-cost green manufacturing, this article delves deeply into the need for intelligent manufacturing for high-end new materials.
Simultaneously, a summary was provided of the difficulties that the conventional “trial-and-error” R&D methodology in the material production industry encountered. The essay examines the opportunities and changes resulting from data-driven intelligent manufacturing R&D models for high-end novel materials. It outlines the main technologies that require immediate development and their future trajectories, using the intelligent processing and shaping of materials as an example. In order to promote the upgrading and leapfrog development of the material industry, the article also suggests countermeasures and ideas for accelerating the development of high-end new material intelligent manufacturing from aspects like fostering interdisciplinary talent, building an innovation system, strengthening research on key technologies, and speeding up the transformation of achievements.
