THE CONSORTIUM
Four organisations. One integrated R&D programme.
DIGI-HSMC brings together complementary expertise across High-Shear Melt Conditioning, materials and digital research, advanced ceramics and industrial application.
Funded by Innovate UKProject No. 10183007
01 · RATIONALE
Why four organisations?
The challenge addressed by DIGI-HSMC spans physical melt conditioning, ceramic engineering, sensing and digital modelling, system integration and industrial validation. No single discipline covers the complete development pathway.
