Pioneering forging research hub puts Scotland at the forefront of advanced engineering.

Scotland’s reputation as a beacon of manufacturing and engineering innovation has been cemented today (21st March) with the launch of the world’s most pioneering, industry scale, fully digitally enabled, forging research platform at the University of Strathclyde’s Advanced Forning Research Centre (AFRC), part of the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS).

The new facility, FutureForge, puts the country at the forefront of modernising and future-proofing the $75 billion global forging sector.
