Following the success of the Power of Aluminium Awards in 2008, and in particular the Young Designer Challenge, we are pleased to announce this year’s competition aimed specifically at student engineers and designers.
Aluminium and its alloys hold a unique place as an engineering material, being lightweight, high strength, readily formable, recyclable and sustainable in every sense, and with a variety of attractive finishes. Extrusion, in particular, is a forming operation for which aluminium is ideal and this ability to produce complex sections to high tolerances gives a designer a wide range of options to produce innovative products which are easy to produce.
Closing date for entries will be 1 April 2010, with the presentation of Awards scheduled for June 2010.
There is a Prize Fund of £1500
