Now then, I'm sure there will be some of the @AFRCStrathclyde Case Studies on here that some of my contacts will find interesting. Have a look, click on a few and see just some of what we can do. bit.ly/3vOWlLC #WantSome? #GetInTouch #Forging #Forming
🔬 CASE STUDIES Just as varied as the firms that we work with, our projects range from exploring faster & cheaper ways to manufacture components, to identifying process problems & finding a solution. 💡 🔎 bit.ly/3vOWlLC @UniStrathclyde @HVM_Catapult #OneHVMC #AFRC
