AMRC Cymru is backed by a £20m investment from Welsh Government and is the first High Value Manufacturing (HVM) Catapult centre in Wales.

AMRC Cymru operates a 2,000 square metre open access research area with Airbus the first major tenant with a platform to develop their next generation wing technologies aligned to its ‘Wing of Tomorrow’ programme.

Situated in the Deeside Enterprise Zone the facility will focus on advanced manufacturing sectors including aerospace, automotive, nuclear and...

The High Value Manufacturing Catapult is the go-to place for manufacturing technology innovation in the UK. Our seven centres, listed below, work across 17 locations covering all parts of country to support manufacturers in over 4,000 projects per year, offering open access to the latest industrial scale equipment, leading expertise and an environment of collaboration between industry, academia and government. We cover the full range of manufacturing technology capabilities, from biologics to...

ACTRIS is a pan-European initiative to produce long-term, high-quality observations of aerosols, clouds and trace gases across a network of European sites. Societal and environmental challenges, such as air quality, health, sustainability and climate change, increasingly require a diverse range of measurements to underpin policy initiatives. ACTRIS will help to solve such challenges by providing a platform for researchers to combine their efforts more effectively, and by providing observational...

The Compact Linac is an innovative and highly compact electron beam and X-ray source. It has been developed to investigate the potential for small, low-energy linear accelerators to be utilised in application areas such as security, non-destructive testing and wastewater treatment. The highly characterised electron beam can be utilised horizontally, or deflected through 45 degrees for use with liquid samples. The system is housed in a fully shielded test facility with client access to a flexible...

IsoLab is a beyond state-of-the-art ultralow noise laboratory built as an annex to the Physics Department at Lancaster University. The build has been funded by the University and by substantial contributions from the Wolfson Foundation, the J.P. Moulton Charitable Foundation and the Garfield Weston Foundation. The EPSRC made an award for the first tranche of equipment and instrumentation. Within the facility sit three isolated laboratory spaces where vibration, noise and electromagnetic...

The E-beam Facility consists of a Comet-Ebeam EBLab 200 self-sheilded, low energy electron beam source. Electron beams can be readily applied to diverse application areas such as food packaging sterilisation, rapid ink curing and polymer cross-linking. This equipment acts as a test and validation system that allows materials to be quickly and easily exposed to a broad electron beam with variable energies up to 200 keV without the need for complex experimental apparatus or extensive set-up time...

NGI mission is:

• To provide a world-leading centre for applied research in graphene and other two-dimensional (2D) materials in collaboration with other universities and research centres.
• Fostering collaboration with researchers across the UK and overseas, by providing access to NGI research infrastructure.
• To support the development of applications and business opportunities through partnerships with industrial companies, the commercialisation of intellectual property (including start-ups...
