MAPP is the EPSRC Future Manufacturing Hub in Manufacture using Advanced Powder Processes.

MAPP delivers on the promise of powder-based manufacturing to provide low energy, low cost, and low waste high value manufacturing routes and products to secure UK manufacturing productivity and growth.

We work with academic, commercial and innovation partners to drive the research needed to solve many of the fundamental challenges limiting the development and uptake of many powder-based processes.
