Expertise
Liverpool is an international leader in the field of additive
manufacturing (AM) working on both AM equipment
development and the production processes for the
manufacture of implants. We work with the international
leaders in orthopaedic implant manufacturing and
world-renowned Metrology/AM equipment
manufacturers to develop our ideas from ‘lab to fab’
(
laboratory to fabrication).
We believe that it is key for manufacturing researchers to
develop novel and world-leading techniques and apply
them to the point of product realisation. Only once an
idea becomes fully realised can tangible benefits to the
economy and the academic community be obtained.
This approach has led to numerous research awards
and collaborations and we are proud of the products
that we have helped develop.
Our Manufacturing Science and Engineering
Research Centre works closely with UK
manufacturing and has expertise in advanced
machining, laser engineering, laser materials
processing, materials characterisation and analysis,
process modelling, computational engineering, control
and automation, and product design and development.
