The UK is internationally recognised as being a leader in innovation and quality. While there has been a great deal of change in the past decades, Britain's engineering sector has maintained it's place as a world leader by embracing agile business practises and advanced manufacturing techniques.

This program brings together three of the UK's leading manufacturers: metal casting specialists Brafe; precision engineers Threadmaster Gauges; and rapid prototyping experts 3D-SQUARED.

This program was originally broadcast July 22nd 2018.

Another really enjoyable PDE Show took place at LJMU yesterday evening.

1st Year Student Best in Show to Elliot Dunson
2nd Year Student Best in Show to Conor Summers
3rd Year Student Best in Show to Alexandra Good

The evening was capped off by the presentation of the award for PDE Student of the Year. This was won by Philip Mawdsley for his overall academic achievements and his tireless work in setting up and running the LJMU Product Design Engineering Design Society and supporting many other course initiatives over his 4 years on the programme. Well done Philip and thank you.

This prestigious award was presented by Andrew Allshorn (founder of 3D Squared) and a close friend and supporter of the PDE programme over many years. Thanks to all those that supported and attended the event.
