CMS has announced that it has entered a partnership agreement with Pembrokeshire-based United Aerospace (UA) which will result in the first CMS Kreator LFAM + machining centre being installed in the UK.
This technical and commercial collaboration brings benefits to both parties and is primarily based on continued knowledge sharing, on-going application development and joint marketing activities. Once installed, it will be a system for real production, as well as effectively providing a UK showroom and laboratory to facilitate CMS Kreator trials and demonstrations for potential UA and CMS customers.
Working with a range of materials to suit its customers’ application requirements, UA will use this hybrid milling and large format additive machine (LFAM) to develop and produce actual products for its clients, including autoclave tooling, jigs and fixtures for use in either their computerised autoclaves or assembly facility.
