Our Additive Manufacturing (AM) work is focused on powder metallurgy materials and processes and design for additive manufacturing. 

Additive Manufacturing

AMRC Castings provides advanced casting expertise and manufacturing capabilities, including computer process modelling, design for casting manufacture, rapid low-volume manufacture of precision castings and casting process and materials research.

Casting

In parallel to the AMRC's well established expertise in metallic component manufacture, the AMRC Composite Centre is using cutting-edge methods to produce ultra lightweight components from composite materials.

Composite Manufacturing

The Design and Prototyping Group, which includes the Medical AMRC, develop everything from conceptual designs, to fully functional prototypes for a range of industries.

Design and Prototyping

The AMRC Integrated Manufacturing Group (IMG) are driving world-class reconfigurable manufacturing technology. IMG works with industrial and academic partners to bring together advanced technologies, to develop innovative, integrated systems.

Integrated Manufacturing

The AMRC Machining Group develops innovative techniques and optimised processes for machining high-performance materials.

Machining

The AMRC Manufacturing Intelligence team has the capabilities and expertise to develop numerical and simulation models to support projects and research in operations planning, facilities planning, supply chain modelling, cost analysis and trade-off analysis.

Manufacturing Intelligence

Our metrology capability provides a range of dimensional metrology technologies and services to our research groups and partners.

Metrology

Based in the AMRC Design Prototyping and Testing Centre, the Advanced Structural Testing Centre (ASTC) provides the capacity, capability, and commitment to close the loop on the total engineering process within the AMRC.

Structural Testing

Our state-of-the-art centre offers the very best in practical and academic training. We provide qualified employees with a tailored set of skills and hands-on experience by utilising and providing access to state-of-the-art machinery and technology. 

Training

The Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre helps UK manufacturers win work across the nuclear sector – in new build, operations and decommissioning – and in other quality-critical industries.
