Renishaw has launched its first North American Additive Manufacturing Solutions Center in Kitchener, Canada. The new facility is intended to provide a secure development environment where customers can gain knowledge and confidence using additive manufacturing technologies. The facility is staffed with skilled applications engineers and gives customers access to additive technology and expertise at a predictable, manageable cost, the company says.

The Canadian center complements the company’s existing network of Solutions Centers in the United Kingdom, the United States, Germany, India and China.

The new facility complements the established advanced manufacturing sector in Canada and will aid the acceleration of the development of industrial additive manufacturing processes, particularly in the medical and aerospace industries, Renishaw says.

Mark Kirby, additive manufacturing business manager says, “The Solutions Center contains everything a customer needs to create a functional part and verify that it is correct,” adding that “Renishaw’s knowledge of metrology, machining and finishing means that for a predictable cost the customer can move down the additive manufacturing learning curve with minimal risk.”

Renishaw Canada has offices in Toronto, Kitchener and Ottawa.
