Delcam joins Coventry's MTC

#metrology #ukmfg #engineering #MTC #cadcam #coventry Birmingham-based CAD/CAM software developer Delcam has become a member of the Coventry-based Manufacturing Technology Centre. The MTC is a key part of the Government’s drive to make the UK the home of advanced manufacturing technologies.

As a member, Delcam will be able to become a partner in development projects with industrial members of the centre such as Rolls-Royce, Airbus and GKN Aerospace, as well as many suppliers of complementary equipment; these include machine tool manufacturers, cutting-tool suppliers and metrology specialists.

One MTC programme that Delcam has already been heavily involved in is the Reclaim project, which has the potential to save UK industry millions of pounds by re-manufacturing high-value components that would otherwise have been scrapped.

The process developed uses laser cladding, automated inspection and high-speed machining in a single fully integrated re-manufacturing cell.
