Working closely with its member ‘customers’, global
manufacturing companies from multiple sectors, which include the
likes of Airbus, BAE Systems, Rolls Royce and Siemens, the MTC
focuses on delivering bespoke manufacturing system
solutions.
The collaboration will see Stratasys work closely with the MTC
to make additive manufacturing central to the projects undertaken
in conjunction with its members, supporting the organization’s role
to research and advise industry on the technology’s capabilities
across multiple platforms.
Operating from its state-of-the-art facility in Coventry, the
MTC is part of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult, which is
supported by Innovate UK – the government agency tasked with
identifying and driving science and technology innovations that
will grow the UK economy.
“We aim to inspire great British manufacturing on the global
stage and central to achieving this are our partnerships with
leading technology providers like Stratasys, through whom we are
deploying some of the world’s most advanced, market-disruptive 3D
printing based technology solutions,” says Ross Trepleton, Group
Technology Manager: component technology, MTC.
“Working with Stratasys, we have a clear objective to
demonstrate additive manufacturing technology’s existing
capabilities to our members and explore the opportunity to push the
envelope in other areas,” he adds. “This includes the ability to
produce end-use engineering components, as well as the capability
to build complex parts with multiple materials and give
multi-functionality to a single component, using 3D printing. We’re
also looking at the potential to functionally grade parts by
material composition.”
Stratasys’ collaboration with the MTC will see the organization
deploy some of the most market-leading additive manufacturing
technology available. This includes the Stratasys J750 full color,
multi-material 3D Printer which breaks restrictive technology
barriers by allowing customers for the first time to mix-and-match
full color alongside an unprecedented range of materials. This
enables the production of supremely realistic parts, in one print
process, without the need for lengthy post-processing, assembly or
painting.
“Additive manufacturing has been recognized as a key disruptive
technology, and it continues to play an increasing role in
realizing digital manufacturing and Industry 4.0,” continues
Trepleton. “Right now, the MTC is developing the means to ensure
that additive manufacturing is suitable for the end user,
de-risking the technology for UK industry.”
“The MTC is the UK’s renowned epicenter for developing
and proving innovative manufacturing processes and
technologies that equip companies with the know-how to compete on
the global stage,” says Andy Middleton, President, Stratasys, EMEA.
“This partnership and the integration of our technology solutions
at the MTC underscores the fact that, more than ever, the UK is
committed to exploring ways to bring growth to the UK economy and
promote the real business benefits achievable from transformational
technologies like additive manufacturing.”
