Cambridge: International Conference on Technology of Plasticity 2017

Professor Allwood and his group at the University of Cambridge hosted the International Conference on Technology of Plasticity at the Department of Engineering in September 2017. With 4 years planning, we welcomed over 600 delegates to a series of fantastic events and an academic programme of over 400 papers. Particular highlights include the spectacular opening lecture at the Cambridge Corn Exchange, hosted by Tony Robinson and the unveiling of the ICTP Peacock- a combination or art and engineering, created by the group and showcasing many metal-forming techniques. 500 local school children attended the event and were invited to challenge the world's metal-forming experts to answer the most difficult questions they could think of. You can see the results of this on the website, and the full film of the event will be released in September 2018 to mark the one year anniversary of the event.
