UK manufacturer Renishaw has partnered with Canada Makes, Canada’s leading additive manufacturing (AM) network, to promote the adoption of AM technology across Canada. Renishaw’s AM engineers, designers and technologists will join forces with Canada Makes’ extensive network at local, national and international levels to promote innovation in AM.
Canada Makes connects organizations specializing in various AM technologies, including metal 3D printing, medical implants and reverse engineering. The network supports companies in implementing the technology through workshops, webinars and case studies. In addition, Canada Makes organizes B2B meetings and trade missions to connect manufacturers, suppliers, academic institutions and research facilities. The goal is to promote knowledge sharing and spark innovation.
“The advancement of AM relies on building strong networks and exchanging knowledge across the industry,” said Carl Hamman, AM Technical Sales & Business Development Manager, Renishaw Canada. “As a member of this network, we can share our AM knowledge for collaborative innovation and to drive industry standards forward.”
Renishaw brings to the partnership its expertise in laser powder bed fusion, a technology widely used in industries such as manufacturing and healthcare.
“Renishaw and Canada Makes share the same primary goal: to enhance the capabilities and accessibility of AM across industries,” commented Nicole Rathie, Director of Community Relations at Canada Makes. “Renishaw’s addition to our network brings diverse expertise in AM across multiple applications, including healthcare, aerospace and automotive, which will enable us to spread the word about AM even further across Canada and beyond.”
The partnership is focused on moving additive manufacturing beyond prototyping and into volume production. Together, the organizations want to open up new applications and further strengthen the industrial acceptance of the technology in Canada and internationally.
