Is there a conflict between additive manufacturing and CNC machining? Robert Chiari, a regional sales manager with Renishaw, says no—in fact, it’s quite the opposite. He points out that many manufacturers use both subtractive and additive processes to arrive at a finished part. In the video above, Mr. Chiari discusses the complementary technologies in a conversation with Senior Editor Peter Zelinski.
