With hundreds of exhibitors
confirmed and 5000t of working
machinery booked in, MACH 2012
(16 to 20 April, NEC) will be a
scintillating showcase for all those
involved in British manufacturing.

Visitors will not
only see the latest in
metalcutting, forming
and grinding that has
long been at the heart
of the exhibition but
will be able to
experience emerging
technologies and new
processes from a host
of world class companies. From
additive manufacturing to industrial
laser applications and advanced
CAD/CAM to the latest
developments in metrology,MACH
has it all.

As well as working machinery and
new technology,MACH 2012 will
feature a vibrant Education and
Training zone designed to further the
MTA’s goal of promoting
engineering-based manufacturing as
a career to young engineers. The
zone will feature the AMRC’s
MANTRA 3D manufacturing
simulator as well as
Bloodhound, the
supersonic car being
built to showcase
British engineering
capability – and in
the process break
the 1000mph
barrier.

An informative
seminar programme will offer
networking opportunities for
participants to meet the speakers and
learn how they can put into practice
what they have heard.

The next issue of IP&E will have
an in-depth preview of MACH 2012.
