Developing new technologies can transform a business, market, or economy. We can support your research and development, helping you to take advantage of new technologies and techniques.
Additive manufacturing
Manufacturing processes that join materials to make parts from 3D model data, usually layer upon layer,
Assurance
Processes and practices used to provide confidence that new and existing manufactured product or system will meet design requirements;
Automation
The use of robotics, machines and control systems to perform previously manual tasks, improving productivity, quality and safety.
Biomanufacturing
Using natural and engineered biological systems to produce biomaterials.
Composites
Combining two materials to create a new one delivers transformational benefits such as improved strength, reduced weight or high-temperature performance.
Digital engineering
Designing for resource efficiency and maximum through-life value, exploiting advancing digital technology and management of a digital thread.
Digital manufacturing
The use of digital technologies in manufacturing to enable high-value production.
Joining
The process of consolidating two or more materials into a more complex configuration using either a chemical, electrical, thermal or mechanical process.
Materials
Materials for high value manufacturing, including net zero, end of life, recover, recycle, process efficiency, resource efficiency, digitalisation, process modelling and control.
Near net-shape manufacturing
An advanced manufacturing strategy that enables complex, at-scale components that can achieve near approximate final shape.
Subtractive manufacturing
Material removal processes where workpiece material is removed mechanically or physically.
Technology development is one of the three pillars that supports the commercialisation of new technologies.
