Renishaw plc (
www.renishaw.com) has relocated its Additive Manufacturing Products Division (AMPD) to a larger ‘state of the art’ site in Stone, Staffordshire. The new 90,000ft2 facility is located on the Stone Business Park.
Renishaw, which employs over 3,800 people in its 70 offices across 32 countries, is the UK’s only manufacturer of metal additive manufacturing (AM) systems.
AMPD marketing manager Robin Weston (pictured) said: “The new Renishaw site in Stone is about more than just additive manufacturing. It will showcase the company’s industry expertise in fields such as industrial metrology, spatial laser measurement and additive manufacturing.
"Our goal is to help our customers understand the full process chain and evaluate how to integrate this with conventional technologies.
“The generous new site will also accommodate training facilities and lecture rooms, as well as a large research and development area to help us keep ahead of industry demands. We want the new site to be a hub for innovative ideas and exciting projects around additive manufacturing.”
The AMPD works closely with other Renishaw divisions, including the LBC Engineering dental team in Germany, the rapid manufacturing unit at the New Mills HQ in Wotton-under-Edge and the Miskin site in Cardiff, where Renishaw’s additive-manufacturing machines are built.
