Renishaw, West Dundee, Ill., a manufacturer of metal additive manufacturing (AM) systems, is collaborating with Altair, a provider of enterprise-class engineering software in Troy, Mich., to help make Additive manufacturing more widely available for end-use production.
The duo will provide a series of projects including joint seminars, workshops, and training events to customers that practically demonstrate metal AM production from powder to part, with emphasis placed on throughput and machine productivity.
“Working closely with Renishaw benefits the development and application of our software to optimize designs for functionality as well as for printability, accuracy and suitability for its designated purpose," said David Coates, Senior Program Manager at Altair. "This collaboration helps ensure AM part development, print cycles and scrap rates are minimized for our customers.”
Customers can engage in AM design projects with Altair to develop designs suited for function and printability on the Renishaw series of printers. Customers wishing to use Renishaw systems to design and test out the manufacturing of metal AM parts can use Altair software and expertise to help complete the job.
The companies have worked closely together for many years, collaborating on multiple projects including working with Robot Bike Co. on a frame that is customized for every rider, a “spider” bracket for architectural glass panels, and a pivoting bell crank for the suspension system of a race car.
