AMRC Factory
The AMRC is a world-class centre for advanced machining and materials research for aerospace and other high-value manufacturing sectors. It is a partnership between industry and academia, which has become a model for research centres worldwide.
The research factory is designed to meet the future needs of aerospace and other high-value manufacturing industries. Boeing, Airbus, Rolls-Royce, BAE Systems and Sprint AeroSystems are all committed to supporting this project.
The 6,730m虏 industrial research base will be the UK's first fully reconfigurable assembly and component manufacturing facility for collaborative research, capable of switching production between different high-value components and one-off parts.
The AMRC 2050 is a building designed around innovation, research and connectivity as a high profile gateway to business. Co-sponsored by companies such as Boeing, BAE Systems, Rolls Royce and McLaren, the outreach in terms of briefing, best practice and the collaborative scheme development has been a key task of the project development into its onsite stage. Funding and research development from all engineering and manufacturing disciplines has created a template for the University for commercial success as well as exemplar briefing and development.
