Working with Rob and the team at the Centre of Advanced Manufacturing has been a wonderful experience. Their knowledge of the industry has allowed them to identify key challenges and position the centre with the required expertise and equipment to address these challenges through cutting edge research. This research will provide industry with the knowledge to adopt and exploit these advanced manufacturing techniques. In addition, the centre will give students hands-on experience with these advanced manufacturing and qualification processes and provide them with the skills required to advance in their own careers.
