The European Powder Metallurgy Association (EPMA) has announced that it will make two presentations as part of its participation at this year’s Advanced Engineering UK 2017, November 1-2 at the NEC, Birmingham, UK. The exhibition and conference streams will showcase cutting edge technology and materials, including those relevant to Powder Metallurgy, particularly in the fields of high performance materials.

Advanced Engineering UK 2017 comprises five co-located zones: Performance Metals Engineering, Aero Engineering, Composites Engineering, Automotive Engineering and Connected Manufacturing, and is reported to be the largest annual gathering of advancedengineering professionals in the UK. The free to attend conference sessions will include a number of presentations on Powder Metallurgy as well as many other manufacturing technologies.

According to the event organisers, the demand for lightweight and high-performance metals is growing across many industries, with the UK metals sector alone home to more than 11,000 companies. Attending the show will be representatives from many of these companies including Leonardo Helicopters, Bentley Motors, Toyota Motor Manufacturing UK, BAE Systems and more.
