Vero's Edgecam Joins NAMRC

By DE Editors

Vero Software's Edgecam division has joined the Nuclear Advanced Manufacturing Research Centre (NAMRC) to enhance the UK civil nuclear manufacturing industry's machining capabilities, the company announced.

The UK is preparing for an approximate £60 billion investment in new nuclear power stations, with up to 16GW of generation capacity, according to the NAMRC.

NAMRC is a collaboration of academic and industrial partners from across the nuclear manufacturing supply chain, to develop manufacturing processes and technologies. The NAMRC machining team works with members on engineering projects to improve their manufacturing techniques by bringing together the machine tool, cutting tool and software. The team chose to work with Edgecam specifically for its mill/turn and horizontal boring capabilities, the group said. Edgecam's membership involves supplying software and service to the manufacturing team at NAMRC.
