Scottish and Australian researchers have struck a new agreement to strengthen collaboration on modern manufacturing methods that could be adapted to shipbuilding and marine operations underway in both hemispheres. An MoU between the University of Strathclyde in Glasgow – operator of the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland – Flinders University in Adelaide and BAE Systems is key to the establishment of the advanced manufacturing research exchange. This will include exploring digital tools in shipbuilding, spanning automation, simulation and materials, as well as welding and joining technologies.
