The Extraordinary Surface Testing Station


This is the fifth year that the University of Huddersfield has exhibited at the International Surface Design trade show, this year under the banner The Extraordinary Surface Testing Station

This year the Show theme was material thinking and the focus for the feature stand was on research, material thinking and material testing which worked perfectly with the shows theme “material thinking”

The stand was a real highlight of the event and received a great review in the Tepilo blog
