Discover one of the UK’s leading centres for advanced manufacturing innovation with a technical visit to the Advanced Forming Research Centre in Inchinnan, part of the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland.

The visit will include a guided tour led by AFRC staff, offering the chance to ask questions about current research.

This is a great opportunity to explore cutting‑edge industrial research in action and gain insight into how the AFRC supports partners across aerospace, energy, transport, and other high‑value manufacturing sectors.
