What will the future of large-scale composite manufacturing look like? Within the Inter-Reg North Sea Region (NSR) funded project PERISCOPE, Offshore Renewable Energy Catapult has been examining how additive manufacturing (3D Printing) of blades may be used by the Offshore Wind Industry in the future. This workshop gives you an opportunity to learn from our experts on this emerging industry and to shape a future transnational innovative project on 3D printing of blades.
