The Digital Manufacturing Centre has announced its first metal powder bed fusion additive manufacturing machine purchase of two Renishaw RenAM 500Qs
Production costs of the parts were reduced by 80 per cent using metal AM compared to traditional manufacturing methods
Ford Motor Company, Siemens AG, Renishaw and XJet were amongst the prestigious award winners
An new four-year collaborative project aims to develop an effective system for identifying and anticipating the right skills needed in the additive manufacturing sector
Professor Duncan Hand discusses the results of CIM-Laser, a collaboration between five UK universities that has supported the country’s uptake of laser-based manufacturing over the past five years
A consortium of European researchers and companies has developed an integrated software solution as part of a Horizon 2020 project that it says will optimise additive manufacturing
Gemma Church finds that additive manufacturing is being used to transform lives through advanced implants and guides for surgeons
A laser cell that combines additive and subtractive machining methods for repairing components has been developed as the result of a project called Reclaim. Riccardo Tosi of the UK’s Manufacturing Technology Centre, who spoke about Reclaim at the Mach event in April, sets out the business case for building such a hybrid system
