Open Industry Day 2023

The Centre for Print Research, at the University of the West of England, Bristol is holding open days on 29th & 30th November.

The event will take place at our Frenchay campus where you will be able to see a series of presentations from our research staff showing our current research projects, including areas such as our work with pioneering 3D printing with ceramic powder, and how we are developing novel approaches to ceramic profile extrusion. Wearable technologies, sustainable clothing and smart composites using Graphene, as well as our traditional printing techniques, expanding both creative and commercial opportunities. 

You will also be able to see some demonstrations of our equipment in-action including the HAAS high-performance Super-Speed vertical 5 axis machining centre with 3D printing metal function, 6 axis cobots, Concr3De Armadillo flatbed ceramic printer, custom built extruder, traditional and digital print, flatbed plotter and laser cuttings plus much more.

Our researchers will be on hand to cover any questions you may have, and to discuss how CFPR might be able to help your company with future research development, as well as being able to advise you on funding opportunities, and research consultancy.  If you have a project you would like advice on, would like to collaborate with us, or just want to find out more about us then email us at cfprinfo@uwe.ac.uk and we will send you more details.

The Centre for Print Research (CFPR) is based at the University of the West of England, Bristol and has a mission to innovate, contemplate and understand all aspects of print history, practice, manufacturing and materials from developing 3D printable ceramic materials to disruptive printing technologies, developing new inks and collaborating with international artists. The centre’s key research themes focus on all aspects of print technology from past to present, and we have a long history of collaborating with industry partners on research projects and consultancy programmes.
