Career Q&A with Lily Joyce, Senior Project Manager at Renishaw.

The market for specialist metal additive manufacturing (AM) services is rapidly evolving as more companies realise the advantages which metal additive manufacturing offers over more traditional design and manufacturing techniques.

Renishaw is working with new mountain bike brand Atherton Bikes to produce additively manufactured titanium lugs for the company's bike frames.

A famous quote attributed to Benjamin Franklin says: “Tell me and I forget. Teach me and I remember. Involve me and I learn.”

In a show of support for the additive manufacturing community, global engineering technology firm Renishaw is sponsoring an internationally renowned, knowledge transfer event focused on production using additive layer-based technologies.

Renishaw has unveiled the machine that it is developing specifically for production manufacturing. Provisionally named EVO Project, it is the first additive manufacturing system designed and engineered in-house at Renishaw.

Renishaw has been awarded the Grant Thornton Mid-Cap Business of the Year award for FTSE listed businesses and mutuals with a turnover of less than £500 million, at the UK’s National Business Awards in London. The citation read by BBC presenter John Humphrys, who hosted the awards, said, “Renishaw is not only exporting British designed and British manufactured products to over 30 countries, but attracting more graduates into manufacturing at the same time.
