Join this virtual event on at 10am on 3rd May, where you will hear more about the new Advancing Manufacturing Centre located in the West Highlands - and how they can help you and your business.
 
One of the 12 Advancing Manufacturing Challenge Fund (AMCF) projects, the Advancing Manufacturing Centre (AMC) is designed to provide local businesses with access to advanced manufacturing technology and expertise.  
 
This includes a new specialist manufacturing hub that opened in late 2021, with opportunities for industry-led knowledge exchange and support for collaboration between businesses. The Hub also serves as a local point of contact for industry bodies, academic institutions and wider networks - providing additional specialist expertise to help inform the adoption of new technology, processes and products leading to improved productivity.
 
Specific technology and support available for business to access via the Hub includes:
  • 3D Printing

  • CNC machining

  • CAD & CAM

  • 3D Scanning

  • Industry 4.0

  • Project Management

  • Project Engineering

Come along to hear from Margaret Weir who is the Project Lead for the AMC project. The Centre is keen to help SMEs and micro businesses involved in manufacturing across different industry sectors, including Food and Drink, Construction, Aquaculture, Metals and Timber Products.
 
Margaret will be supported during the session with contributions from businesses who have already accessed and benefited from the support the centre and its team of experts have provided. This will also be an opportunity to hear more about the free support that continues to be available through the AMCB programme.
