Precision Technologies Group signs agreement with University of Huddersfield

Precision Technologies Group (PTG) has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with The Centre for Precision Technologies at the University of Huddersfield.

The pair have worked together on a range of machine tool projects before, but the agreement, demonstrates that both are committing to collaborating further via a new Research and Development Centre in Machine Tool Technology that they are setting up at the university. A position of 'Chair in Machine Tool Technology' has been created and will initially be held by Professor Alan Myers of the University of Huddersfield. Additionally, 'Visiting Researcher' status will be held by Professor Christopher Holmes, general manager of PTG division, Holroyd Advanced Developments. As a further benefit of the agreement, Precision Technologies Group will be given access to the university's on-campus, high performance computing resources, which will make intensive simulations very much faster.
