Additive manufacturing at GKN

GKN, Bristol



DRAMA logo


The event is being organised as part of the three-year DRAMA additive manufacturing project. The Midlands Aerospace Alliance is a partner in the project to help our members understand and adopt this new technology.

DRAMA aims to establish world-class additive manufacturing ‘test bed’ facilities and a corresponding digital-twin virtual environment for the aerospace industry and its supply chain. The test bed facilities will be at the National Centre for Additive Manufacturing (NCAM), located at The Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC), Coventry and at Renishaw’s AM Solution Centre in Stone, Staffordshire. For more about DRAMA and the support on offer click here.

Join us at this special event at GKN in Bristol, to:

  • learn how GKN is adopting additive manufacturing
  • understand how the DRAMA project could benefit your business and provide support along your additive manufacturing journey

Important

This event has been set up specifically for manufacturers and metal processing companies.
