We’re thrilled to announce alongside HTMS we’ve secured a grant of £101k for the Henry Royce Institute Industrial Collaboration Programme. This will support a follow-on project, expanding on our groundbreaking filament winding work from earlier this year. The collaboration will enable us to create the very first CMC filament-wound tubes in the UK. Robyn Elliot, technical lead explains, "This builds upon our previous successful collaboration with HTMS on an SME-assist project, this new project will focus on optimising the manufacturing process for low-temperature unidirectional CMC tapes. This optimisation will not only lower costs but also create new market opportunities within the UK." Find out more 👉 bit.ly/4aeeB3H
