We're pleased to be supporting Design Innovation in Plastics 2026! This year, #DIP2026 has partnered with FANUC Europe UK to offer this year's finalists a four‑day, hands‑on introduction to injection moulding at FANUC’s UK Academy. This industry‑led training will give finalists practical insight into plastics processing, support product development ahead of final judging, and lead to an IOM3‑endorsed certification. We're pleased to support this example of industry and education working together to support the next generation of talent. #DesignInnovationInPlastics #Plastics
Very excited to say that the judges have whittled down all our entries to the #DIP2026 competition and that very soon we will be revealing the six finalists publicly. Our final six are being invited to take part in a prestigious certified training course on injection moulding, provided by Fanuk UK Ltd FANUC Europe and Sierra 57 Consult Ltd as part of their prize. Taking place during April, this course will help them further develop and refine their products for the final judging in London on May 8. We look forward to meeting them all soon!
