World class resources for today’s manufacturers
Micro and nano-engineering are opening up the potential for
a generation of new and radically enhanced products - in areas
as diverse as medical and healthcare diagnostics, industrial
automation, optical telecommunications aerospace applications and textiles.
Meeting the global market for advanced new products that
out perform and out compete the opposition demands access
to world class research, development and production facilities.
Within Wales, three Europe's leading engineering organisations
have come together to provide a one-route resource to take
businesses into the next generation.
Introducing a whole new, smaller world
Within the world of engineering and manufacturing, smaller
is now better.
The drive is on for low cost, high precision products with
greater functionality, based on non-silicon materials like
polymers, ceramics, glass and metals as well as more traditional
metals.
The companies that seize the opportunity to create these
products will be those that retain and improve their market
share. That puts increasing pressure on businesses to adopt
and exploit the very latest small-scale engineering techniques.
The challenge, of course, is how to achieve this within existing
resources. Not every venture has the technology expertise
in-house; few organizations have the resources to research,
develop and then prototype new products before committing
to volume production.
Which is where Wales’s world-class resources come into
their own. Three of the UK’s foremost centres focusing
on micro and nanotechnology are based here. More than that,
they offer a complementary range of facilities and work together
to offer a seamless service to business: whatever your requirements
are, we can almost guarantee that they can be met. From leading
edge research through to design, prototyping and small volume
manufacture – right through to assistance in setting
up volume production facilities.
One call to any of the three centres involved will put you
in touch with a dedicated, knowledgeable network with a mission
to enable.
The world is changing. Fast. With our expertise behind you,
your business can be part of those changes. |
