Delcam to host third GTMA Emerging Technologies event

Tooling for metal forming will be one of the topics at the GTMA Emerging Technologies event.

Delcam will host the third GTMA "Emerging Technologies” event at its Birmingham headquarters on 22nd April. Like the previous events, which have both attracted over 100 delegates, the meeting will include presentations on a range of new manufacturing technologies and their potential applications. These will include developments in additive manufacturing, toolmaking, plastic moulding, metal forming, robotics and composites processing.

"In addition to the formal presentations, we will be encouraging networking among the delegates so that they can gain even more from their day,” said Julia Moore from the GTMA. "A series of ‘Hot Desks’, where a variety of experts will be situated during the networking periods, will give the chance for companies to discuss their specific needs.”

"The day will give delegates an opportunity to learn more about the new and emerging technologies within manufacturing that could provide their companies with a competitive edge,” claimed Ms. Moore. "Knowledge gained from the event should be useful to managers so that sound strategic decisions concerning new technologies can be made, while more junior staff can benefit by having the chance to tap into the knowledge of the experts that will be presenting.”
