Additive manufactured 10

10 years of PROGRESS10N

Welcome to 10 years of additive manufacturing INNOVAT10N

We are proud to be celebrating the 10th anniversary of MTC becoming the National Centre for Additive Manufacturing (NCAM), marking years of innovation, collaboration, and leadership in advancing additive manufacturing (AM) technologies. This milestone is an opportunity to reflect on how far we’ve come, the transformational projects we've been part of and the future we are helping to shape.

Our story is one of progress and impact. From ground-breaking projects to transformative collaborations, we have supported businesses across aerospace, automotive, defence, and more to embrace the potential of AM. This celebration highlights the incredible opportunities unlocked by cutting-edge technology and the dedication of our team and collaborative partners.

Graham Hoare speaking about NCAM

It's a tremendous technology that's come so far, leaps and bounds in the 10 year period with innovative new equipment, new processes, new skills and a whole host of capabilities that have been born here in the centre. A great achievement to date, but an opportunity for even more collaboration as we lean into the next 10 years.
