Free seminar explains aerospace supply chain
A morning seminar aimed at helping UK engineering companies participate in the aerospace supply chain has been organised by GTMA on 24th February at Warwick Manufacturing Group, Warwick University.
In addition to the presentations by BMW, interactive demonstrations were given by other GTMA members specialising in this field including: "Data collection" by Mitutoyo and Renishaw; "Data analysis, manipulation and processing" by Vero International Software; and "Prototype verification" by Mitutoyo UK, which had generously agreed to host the seminar at its training and demonstration facility in Warwick.
Tim Carter, National Accounts and Midlands Area Manager, Mitutoyo UK, was delighted with attendance at the event: "Everyone is talking about reverse engineering, but people need to be made aware of what can really be done.
By organising this technology day the GTMA has provided a real taste of the future of reverse engineering and shown the direction which big companies, such as BMW, are already taking".
