Developments in Tooling for Composites – 24 March 2026
We are pleased to be sponsoring the Developments in Tooling for Composites event taking place on 24 March 2026 at the GKN Global Technology Centre in Bristol.
Tooling plays a critical role in successful composite manufacturing. From early concept development through to full-scale production, the right tooling strategy supports effective process selection while ensuring part quality, dimensional accuracy, and repeatability. As composite materials, manufacturing processes, and production rates continue to evolve, tooling technologies must also adapt to meet these changing demands.
This event will bring together industry experts to explore the latest advancements in composite tooling methods and technologies. Through a series of presentations and real-world case studies, attendees will gain valuable insight into innovative tooling solutions, emerging materials, and new manufacturing techniques. These developments are helping manufacturers reduce costs, improve performance, and support scalable production across a wide range of composite applications.
