Lead growth sectors
We connect technology strategy to real-world delivery through our end-to-end engineering services
The future of UK defence will be shaped by the materials we can access - and increasingly, by those we can produce ourselves. Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) are becoming critical to the next wave of aerospace and hypersonic systems. They offer a step change in performance where traditional materials fall short.
Early career engineers at NCC developed an optimised seat for GB Canoeist Emma Wiggs that is lighter, and five times stiffer. Using digital tools, including embedded sensor technology, the team designed and manufactured the seat reducing material in low-stress areas and increasing critical support where needed.
Working with Leonardo, we've designed a custom immersive workbench to improve workforce skills & cut traditional training times. The immersive system was developed under our Capability Development programme, and improves manufactured part quality with real-time verification, thereby reducing defects & waste.
