MTC, Ansty Park, Coventry
This workshop will focus on how aerospace suppliers can add value -- not just reduce cost -- for their customers by developing innovative manufacturing techniques.
Participants will be able to learn from successful NATEP projects.
They will also learn how large customer companies and supporting bodies like the Manufacturing Technology Centre can help.
Keynote speaker: Peter Winton, Global Process Owner – Tooling and Fixturing, Rolls-Royce plc.
Delegates will also have the opportunity to tour the MTC facilities.
NATEP is the UK's £40m programme to develop more than 100 new technologies in the aerospace supply chain between 2013 and 2017. Many of the NATEP projects are about developing new and innovative manufacturing technologies. For more information click here.
