As part of the High Value Manufacturing Catapult The NCC is the UK's world-class composite innovation  centre that specialises in the design and digitally optimised manufacture of sustainable composites and facilitates their widespread industrial exploitation.
The state-of-the-art building at the Bristol and Bath Science Park provides manufacturing facilities at an industrial scale and rapid manufacturing processes capable of building prototypes to validate design concepts. We are the hub of the UK’s effort to develop and implement rapid composite manufacturing technologies and systems.
We lead the co-ordination of a strengthened network of regional centres of composites excellence, providing direction and focus for fundamental research and collaborative links with UK universities, and helping to develop and co-ordinate training to support the skills base necessary for applying advanced and specialist composite technologies.
