UWE Bristol are currently working on a twenty-seven month\nKnowledge Transfer Partnership (KTP) with Craven Dunnill Jackfield. Founded in\n1872, Craven Dunnill Jackfield (CDJ) has since produced ceramic wall and floor\ntiles in the oldest surviving purpose-built tile factory in the world, based in\nIronbridge. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The KTP will introduce a range of 3D digital fabrication\ntechnologies to innovate the design and modelling process for specialist\nceramic tile production and architectural restorations. We spoke to Jed\nLeonard-Hammerman, who is the KTP Associate leading the project: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What attracted you to\nthe KTP role?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lots of things, but mostly the opportunity to work with a\nuniversity whilst gaining paid experience with a company. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is the\npartnership between UWE and the company working?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Really well! We meet monthly to discuss progress and I spend\nmost of my time at the Company but visit UWE about once a month to use the\nfacilities and catch up with my Supervisor. It\u2019s great working alongside and\nlearning from the experts at both UWE and Craven Dunnill Jackfield.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the current\nchallenges of your role?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implementing ideas that have never been tested is quite\ndaunting but also really exciting!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you enjoy\nmost about your job?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I love managing the project, having the freedom to direct it\nand plan how my time is spent as well as the budget. I get to visit a lot of\ntrade shows and exhibitions and enjoy speaking to industry representatives\nabout applying their technology to the ceramics industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you think\nabout the support available from UWE and the Company?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s great! My project is split into three elements (3D printing and CAD\/ceramics\/finance and project management) and I get all the support I need from my Academic Supervisor, the team at CDJ and the KTP Team at UWE. I\u2019ve also had a lot of extra support from the Centre for Fine Print Research at UWE, particularly Walter Guy who has given up his time to show me how to use technical equipment.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
