Aerospace-focused additive manufacturing event this week at Renishaw

Targeted at companies involved with aerospace design and manufacture, it will include presentations by expert engineers on the latest manufacturing and metrology technologies. By adopting additive manufacturing techniques, engineering companies are able to create complex parts that would not have been possible to machine using traditional subtractive technologies. Renishaw's laser melting systems are used in a range of industries where components with complex geometries are required to be lightweight yet strong, including the medical orthopaedics, motorsport and aerospace sectors. The Additive Manufacturing Focus Day will feature presentations from Renishaw about its pioneering, digitally-driven laser melting technology; from Altair, about its optimal design software, which is ideal for additive manufacturing applications; and from BAE Systems, which uses the additive process for product development. Delegates will have the opportunity to ask the expert speakers about additive manufacturing techniques and there will also be the opportunity to have a tour of Renishaw's New Mills facility. The delegates will come away with a new understanding of additive manufacturing and its applications in advanced engineering companies.
