For manufacturers across every industry, additive manufacturing (AM) holds enormous promise, particularly when it comes to the production of parts made from high-value materials such as titanium. Rather than starting with a block of titanium large enough to contain an entire part and cutting it down to size – creating a massive heap of chips in the process – AM allows manufacturers to build parts to near-net shape.
Do you have an upcoming automation focused capital expenditure? Call AMC to find out how they can be your partner in developing a solution. Better still why not also take advantage of the latest government program detailed in the 2018 Fall Economic Statement?
