World unique research hub set to transform the global forging sector

The world’s most advanced research and innovation hot forging platform is opened this March at the University of Strathclyde’s Advanced Forming Research Centre (AFRC).

FutureForge is a world-unique platform for hot forging innovation with advanced industry 4.0 capabilities that enables companies from overseas to connect in real-time with the AFRC remotely and benefit from the skills and expertise of its people, along with the ground-breaking R&D equipment.

The platform provides a safe and secure data rich research arena in which the forging industry can de-risk the development of new products, processes, and technologies for easier adoption on the shop floor.
