Hosted by industry experts Paul Jones, Gio Albanese, Joe Reynolds, Colin Griffiths, Chloe Reeve, Rowan Easter-Robinson and Tom Skubala each episode features insightful interviews with the people who design, build, and operate the machines that create some of the world's most advanced parts. From aerospace to medical engineering, the MTDCNC team takes listeners on a journey through the different industries that rely on precision manufacturing to thrive. They speak with machine tool builders, applications experts, and machinists who push the boundaries of what's possible to create components that keep planes flying, save lives, and enable humanity to explore new frontiers. Whether you're a seasoned engineer or simply interested in learning more about the field, the MTDCNC Podcast is the perfect resource. Join the conversation and discover why engineering is no longer a dark, dingy, dirty industry, but rather a clean, futuristic, and dare we say it, 'sexy' place to work. Tune in every week and discover what's new in the world of advanced manufacturing.

    Why aren’t more UK manufacturers investing in automation?

    The UK ranks 11th globally for manufacturing output, yet we’re falling behind in robot adoption, sitting at 24th for robot density. What’s holding us back, and what needs to change? In this eye-opening podcast filmed at FANUC UK, MTDCNC’s Paul Jones is joined by Lee Scott of Starrag UK and Oliver Selby of FANUC UK to explore the challenges, from short-term contracts and investment decisions to the need for a shift in mindset. With some surprising statistics, practical ideas and plenty of food for thought, this is a conversation you absolutely won’t want to miss!
