BCAST undertakes applied R&D with our extensive industrial partners to exploit fundamental research and technological advancement for development of a circular economy. We currently host the Circular Metals Centre, which is part of a £30M UK government drive to make the UK a leader in Circular Economy; now evolved into the first ever United Nations Circular Economy centre. Our scale up facilities, the Advanced Metal Casting Centre (AMCC) and Advanced Metal Processing Centre (AMPC), provide industry with the opportunity to work towards bridging the gap between fundamental, laboratory-scale research and full scale industrial trials, providing outputs that can result in significant time and cost reduction towards commercialisation and development of state-of-the-art alloys and processing technologies.
