The Power of Additive: Metal additive manufacturing for the power industry
Date and time
Location
Nuclear AMRC
University of Sheffield Brunel Way Catcliffe S60 5WG United KingdomDescription
The Nuclear AMRC, in association with the High Value Manufacturing Catapult, kindly invites you to explore the state of the art in bulk additive manufacturing technologies for the energy industry.
This special event will focus on additive manufacturing technologies and applications for civil nuclear, oil and gas, renewables and other innovative power generation sectors.
Metal additive manufacturing can bring significant commercial benefits to the power generation industry, including reduced lead time and production cost, while avoiding problems with transportation and supply chain capability and capacity.
New additive techniques can also help overcome technical challenges including microstructural inhomogeneity, defect occurrence and detection, and size and geometric limitations.
Discover how major companies are already developing and implementing bulk additive manufacturing techniques, and find out how your business could benefit from these new capabilities.
With our engineers working in collaboration with over 40 research partners, the Nuclear AMRC is committed to combining industry expertise with first class innovation in order to enhance technical capabilities in large-scale, high-value manufacturing for the UK civil engineering sectors.
