✈ We were honoured to attend the ground breaking event for the new COMPASS facility alongside our partners AMRC, Boeing and Spirit AeroSystems.    Composites at Speed and Scale will be the home of the Boeing-led Isothermic High-Rate Sustainable Structures (IHSS) project, developing new technology that meets the growing demand for lighter commercial aircraft, whilst accelerating the aviation industry’s commitment to reach net zero by 2050.   This venture will initially create around 50 jobs in South Yorkshire and has the potential to create up to 3000 UK jobs long-term, and around £2 billion annually in export opportunities.   This £80m investment includes a £29.5m grant from the UK Government’s Aerospace Technology Institute (ATI) Programme for state-of-the-art equipment intended for the broader benefit of aerospace and other industries as well as £20m for the building backed by the South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority, Sheffield City Council, The University of Sheffield and the High Value Manufacturing Catapult. The event included an insightful panel discussion with Maria Laine, Todd Citron, Sean Black, PhD and Alun Reece moderated by Steve Foxley 🌍. Our Managing Director, Alun Reece, said: “We are incredibly excited to be part of the programme. Working closely with global leaders, the programme will push automation technologies beyond the current state of the art and help to keep the UK at the forefront of high-rate primary structure research and manufacturing.”   What an exciting chapter ahead for everyone involved!

Super interesting article on the aerospace sector’s most important concerns and priorities as of 2023. How do you tackle a skills shortage, an increased demand in civil production post covid and a perceived lack of expertise when it comes to the new digital manufacturing landscape? I’m sure aerospace won’t be the only sector with these challenges so it will be fascinating to see what developments happen in the future. https://lnkd.in/emwniA4n

The revolutionary Advanced Air Mobility (AAM) market is rapidly evolving.

Great to see a strong Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District contingent from Sheffield and Rotherham at this Aerospace Technology Institute event. Warwick Spearing from Technicut Limited represents a truly cutting edge precision engineering business that was the founding partner of the AMRC along with Boeing and remains one of the true aerospace innovators. Given the prominence of robotics and automation in this space, its super to see the fast growing Rivelin Robotics taking centre stage during the day. Tempted to move the business to San Diego following broken promises in their home city, its great to see Rivelin stuck it out and chose the grit over the surf and are now planning to on-shore production from Europe to one of the heartlands of Yorkshire manufacturing: Neepsend. Robert J Bush's passion for the place is tangible as was demonstrated at the recent The Bessemer Society dinner held very close to Neepsend by chance. Also good to see Professor Harry Burroughes -- one of the AMRC's rapidly growing number of Professors, including Melissa Conlan and Ben Morgan) who will doubtless be talking about the £50 million publicly funded COMPASS project along with industry partner Loop Technology Ltd. Let's hope the comms and marketing folk at Sheffield City Council and The University of Sheffield( the former stumped up £7million of ratepayers money to help build a new extension to the The University of Sheffield flagship Factory 2050, while the £740 million turnover university coughed up just £3 million according to AMRC insiders). Then there's the good people at South Yorkshire Mayoral Combined Authority who also chipped in £7 million of public money to help build the R&D extension for the university. Post Investment Zone, it seems the baton for growing and promoting AMID has been passed to Oliver Coppard who has been leading the way in giving it the high prominence it deserves... But Oliver cant do it on his own. What is needed now is a coordinated campaign to put the Advanced Manufacturing Innovation District centre stage, rather than either trying to erase it, ignore it, or talk only about one’s own little part in it ...for example the University of Sheffield Innovation District which is a small, now gated, campus of four buildings, often unoccupied according to locals and impossible to access without permission. Which is far cry from the founders' idea for Factory 2050 as a largely open access facility that would attract young people to press their faces against the glass rotunda to marvel at what modern manufacturing looks like and want to be part of it,

The CompositesWorld #CarbonFiberEvent has just kicked off. Jeff Sloan summed up the situation around the use of carbon fibers with 1) Aerospace is the most valuable market 2) Wind blade manufacturing consumes the highest volume and shows the biggest growth potential 3) Boeing, after the 737 crashes, is in a weak competitive situation and is stabilizing at the moment 4) Airbus has a strong market position, but there are no new projects planned leading to an increased use of carbon fibers Is there something else we should mention here? Maybe developments that haven’t been recognized so far? What‘s your opinion and knowledge about the future market demands in the use of carbon fibers?
