MTC - The Manufacturing Technology Centre in Liverpool

This technical visit to the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) Liverpool facility offers a unique opportunity to explore how advanced manufacturing technologies are helping to shape the future of UK industry. The MTC, headquartered near Coventry, is part of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult network and works with manufacturers of all sizes, universities and industry partners to develop innovative solutions that improve productivity, sustainability and competitiveness. The Liverpool office was the first "satellite" office of the MTC to be established, allowing the MTC to engage with the North West manufacturing community.

During the visit, attendees will gain insight into MTC's work across a range of disciplines including automation and robotics, additive manufacturing, digital manufacturing, materials engineering, metrology, simulation and industrial transformation. Expert-led presentations will showcase current projects, emerging technologies and real-world applications that are helping organisations overcome manufacturing challenges and accelerate innovation.

A highlight of the event will be an introduction to the Digital Manufacturing Accelerator (DMA), a £45m advanced testbed designed to help businesses evaluate, test and adopt digital and automation technologies in a low-risk environment. Participants will also have the opportunity to engage with MTC specialists, discuss industry trends, exchange ideas with fellow engineers and professionals, and build valuable technical networks. This visit is ideal for anyone interested in the future of manufacturing and the practical implementation of Industry 4.0 technologies.
