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.
