Aerospace Event 2015: About the Event
14-15 April 2015, AMRC Training Centre, Advanced Manufacturing Park, Sheffield.
Following the success of the Aerospace Forum in 2011 in Bristol and in 2013 in Coventry, the BINDT Aerospace and Composites Groups are holding an Aerospace Event in April 2015 at the Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (AMRC), in Rotherham. Presentations on current topics relevant to the aerospace industry will prompt lively and productive discussions.
The Aerospace Event will have two main topics. The first day will concentrate on the benefits of NDT and, in particular, will consider the potential NDT opportunities in Additive Manufacturing. The second day will focus on NDT of aerospace composites, including advances in 3D characterisation and prediction of structural performance of as-manufactured components.
