Renishaw Launches Additive Manufacturing Guide
The online resource is intended to help increase the use of AM in mainstream manufacturing.
Renishaw, an additive manufacturing (AM) systems and software manufacturer and user, has launched a dedicated AM page on its website. The company intends to use this new information hub to educate and inform customers, and the wider engineering community, on the possibilities of additive manufacturing and its business impact. The objective is to increase the use of AM technology in mainstream manufacturing.
The page can be accessed for free on the Renishaw website at renishaw.com/amguide.
Content includes videos, feature articles, industry news, opinion pieces and detailed case studies of successful AM applications. It also contains a collection of technical articles written by Renishaw’s industry experts.
Featured on the new page is the beginner’s guide to AM, which explains how users can optimize their use of metal AM to take advantage of the design freedom, performance and efficiency of this manufacturing technique. It also explains how understanding the particular AM process characteristics are essential to waste and cost reduction.
“Investing in AM requires time, resources and equipment,” explains Robin Weston, marketing manager at Renishaw’s Additive Manufacturing Products Division. “To understand the benefits and develop a reliable and capable process, companies must rigorously assess their operations. We want to educate the industry on why to consider AM, when to consider it and what applications are suitable.”
Renishaw’s expertise in precision measurement, machining and finishing in addition to AM positions it to be an effective partner for integrated industrial additive manufacturing, according to Weston.
