The University of Strathclyde’s Advanced Forming Research Centre (AFRC), is opening an office in Sheffield, UK.
According to the university, the office will connect with manufacturers and showcase the center’s metallurgy capabilities, numerical and analytical process modelling tools and industry-scale forging and forming equipment in the world.
‘Setting up an office in Sheffield is a natural step for the AFRC,’ said AFRC chief operating officer, Helen Lightbody. ‘Our support can be anything from helping the transition from gas to electric furnaces to reducing energy costs, to exploring ways to meet sustainability targets, improving products and processes, or accessing large scale collaborative research projects with global manufacturing companies.’
