AMRC to host cutting edge composite seminar

Date: 12/02/2008

In the aerospace, medical, automotive and oil and gas industries, composites are emerging as the ideal materials for high performance applications because of their light-weight, corrosion resistance, and tensile strength.  On Thursday March 13, 2008 the Advanced Manufacturing Forum is inviting companies to learn more about this developing field by attending the "Composites and Advanced Materials for Manufacturers" seminar beginning at 9:30 am at the Rolls-Royce Factory of the Future in Rotherham.  The seminar will conclude at 1:00pm with a buffet lunch.

"In highly competitive industries, it's essential to network, promote your own products, and learn about what other companies are accomplishing," says AMRC PR and Communication Manager, Timothy Scherer.  "The AMF seminars are an excellent way to accomplish all three in a professional, yet informal environment.  Our first 2008 seminar will help companies understand the impact of composites on their supply chains; how to adopt and work with them; and explore improvements in composite materials processing."  

The event will be chaired by the Editor of Aerospace Manufacturing Magazine, Richard Burton and feature expert speakers from Lola Composite; the Advanced Composite Group; Arnold Magnetic Technologies; Victrex; and Dormer Tools.  At the conclusion of the seminar delegates are invited to tour the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre's Factory of the Future, or meet with representatives from the Composite and Advanced Materials Technology Centre, who are housed within the Factory of the Future.

This seminar is free to registered AMF members, and £25 for non-members.  Any company may join the AMF for £50 per year which includes four seminars a year.  To register for the "Composites and Advanced Materials for Manufacturers" seminar, to join the Advanced Manufacturing Forum, or for more information, please visit www.amrc.co.uk; contact Timothy Scherer at 0114-222-7676, or e-mail amf@amrc.co.uk.
