This event was the Centre’s first outreach meeting of 2015 held in conjunction with euspen, and took place at the Manufacturing Technology Centre, Coventry.
The meeting was intended to attract the UK’s top practitioners, industrialists and academics in the field of production and machining of micron or smaller sized features. The application of these features at small dimensions are varied, including security tagging, hologram reproduction, ultra precision component parts for micro machinery itself, optical gratings and a myriad of other functions that might at first glance not be so obvious in daily use, but rely on these small scale micro manufacturing practices to enable much of modern life to exist.
There were 9 presentations given from industry and academia and delegates were also given the opportunity to view the MTC’s facilities as part of the tours organised throughout the day.
