TextureJet plays a key role in enabling UK manufacturing to Build Back Better
Did you know, tens of thousands of tons of toxic chemical waste are produced from high value manufacturing every year, simply during the process of taking cast components from the furnace to finish.
The long term future of UK manufacturing relies heavily on finding ways of improving efficiencies to ensure sustainable manufacturing processes and clean growth.
It was this challenge that TextureJet set out to solve, and through the help of funding from the Sustainable Innovation Fund and Innovate UK, they are leading a research project to demonstrate the viability of their innovative patented STAT technology.
After the successful completion of SBRI Phase 1 feasibility study, TextureJet are pleased to announce that they have been awarded ~£500k funding for SBRI Phase 2, to develop a prototype to take the technology through to a commercial proposition. This will validate how STAT can vastly reduce the environmental impact on finishing technologies by providing a cost-efficient solution for taking components from furnace to finish.
Take a look at our infographic that explains more about STAT technology and how TextureJet can play a key role in enabling UK manufacturing to Build Back Better.
