This week's agenda . . . Midlands AM "centres of excellence"
The Midlands is blessed with several centres of additive manufacturing excellence: at the Manufacturing Technology Centre, in our universities for example. They have a wide variety of additive manufacturing and related equipment in them. We'll take a virtual tour. And we'll focus on how aerospace suppliers can gain access to these facilities to help them on their own additive journeys.
Here's where we'll be going:
-
Materials Solutions, with Chris Barefoot, Head of Sales (UK), Materials Solutions a Siemens Energy Business
-
University of Nottingham, with Dr Marco Simonelli, Nottingham Research Fellow, University of Nottingham
-
Digital Manufacturing Centre, with David Thorne, Metals Application Engineer, Digital Manufacturing Centre
-
National Centre for Additive Manufacturing, with Ruaridh Mitchinson, Senior Research Engineer, The MTC & NCAM
More about the meeting
Come along with your coffee! Arrive early if you can -- like a "real" meeting -- to help us start on time. In fact, feel free to join a few minutes early to say hello.
You’ll be able to send us your questions and comments and network with other participants during the meeting.
And, although the meeting is nominally an hour, we often stay behind for 15 minutes more discussion and networking, just like a normal meeting -- all are welcome!
(All that's missing is the biscuits!)
