The purpose of the Manufacturing Technology Centre (MTC) Engineering Doctorate Centre is to accelerate the adoption and utilisation of new high-value manufacturing technologies within UK industry by bridging the identified gap between basic research and technology commercialisation in this area. This will be achieved through partnership between university research partners (the University of Nottingham, Loughborough University and the University of Birmingham) and founding MTC industrial members (Rolls-Royce, Airbus, Aero Engine Controls) through co-sponsorship and co-supervision of cohorts of Engineering Doctorate Research Engineers to tackle key research challenges in Net Shape Manufacturing, Advanced Tooling and Fixturing and Intelligent Automation. The 12,000 sqm purpose-built 25M MTC building at Ansty, Warwickshire will provide a hub for the researchers, who will benefit from investment in large-scale research equipment and access to key research and technical staff. Research Engineers will benefit from a carefully constructed formal training programme combining advanced technical skills with management/professional development training and contextual awareness. This is to ensure that Research Engineers are not only equipped with detailed hands-on knowledge of the latest advanced manufacturing methods and approaches but also an understanding of how their research fits within the value chain so as to achieve optimal solutions.

制造技术中心（MTC）工程博士学位中心的目的是通过弥合基础研究和技术商业化之间的差距，加快采用和利用新的高价值制造技术在英国工业。这将通过大学研究合作伙伴（诺丁汉大学、拉夫堡大学和伯明翰大学）与创始MTC工业成员（罗尔斯·罗伊斯、空中客车、航空发动机控制）之间的合作来实现，通过共同赞助和共同监督工程博士研究工程师群体来解决净形制造、先进工具和固定装置以及智能自动化领域的关键研究挑战。位于沃里克郡Ansty的12，000平方米专用25 M MTC大楼将为研究人员提供一个中心，他们将受益于对大型研究设备的投资以及关键研究和技术人员的访问。研究工程师将受益于精心构建的正式培训计划，将先进的技术技能与管理/专业发展培训和环境意识相结合。这是为了确保研究工程师不仅具备最新先进制造方法和方法的详细实践知识，而且还了解他们的研究如何适应价值链，以实现最佳解决方案。
