National Manufacturing Institute Scotland

Over 45% of global emissions come from what we make and use. 🌍 Through our ReMake programme, we’re helping industry keep products at their highest value, and in circularity, for longer. Watch the showcase video to explore the full story.

What if you could see every part of your product’s lifecycle, from design, to maintenance, to end-of-life, all in one place? ♻️ Digital Product Passports make that possible. Through its ReMake programme, NMIS is helping businesses use DPPs to improve traceability, reduce waste, and unlock more confident repair and remanufacture. Watch the full video to see how.

Manufacturing challenges are rarely unique but solving them shouldn't happen in isolation. From supply chain resilience and skills shortages to technology adoption and capability development, manufacturers across Scotland are facing many of the same challenges. The Advanced Manufacturing Forum is hosted at the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS) and brings together manufacturers from across sectors and company sizes in a trusted, industry-led environment to share experiences, discuss common issues and identify practical opportunities for collaboration. 💡Why attend? • Connect with peers from businesses of all sizes • Take part in open, Chatham House Rule discussions • Gain insight into emerging challenges and opportunities • Help shape future Forum topics around the issues that matter most to industry • Build valuable connections that could lead to future collaboration 📍Our next one is on 25 August 2026 at National Manufacturing Institute Scotland, Renfrew but don't worry, if you can't make it, we have more coming up. Can't make this one? Don't worry - there will be more opportunities to join the conversation at future Forums. Register your interest below for a quick conversation. 👇

The aerospace aftermarket is growing rapidly. ✈️ The UK is a global leader in aerospace manufacturing, yet captures a relatively small share of the global Maintenance, Repair and Overhaul (MRO) market. Our new industry-backed white paper explores the opportunity for the UK to strengthen its competitiveness and capture a greater share of this growing market, while highlighting the role innovation, technology and skills can play in supporting future capability. 🔗 Download white paper: https://lnkd.in/emWB5aFr Coreen McCubbin Siobhan Campbell Jordan Houston Stephen Fitzpatrick Dr. Hua-Wei Huang C.Eng.

At NMIS, we're exploring how advanced manufacturing technologies can help solve complex engineering challenges. We recently worked on a project exploring the use of high-pressure cold spray to manufacture a complex copper rocket nozzle with integrated cooling channels. The result demonstrated a potential reduction in lead times from months to days, while enabling geometries that are difficult to achieve through conventional manufacturing. Watch the process and discover the full case study.

A new approach to complex copper components. NMIS engineers used high-pressure cold spray to manufacture a complex copper rocket nozzle with integrated cooling channels. The project demonstrated: ✓ Faster production ✓ Reduced waste ✓ Greater design flexibility ✓ Up to 10kg/hour deposition rates See how the technology could be applied across aerospace, thermal management, naval systems and more. 👉 Read the case study
