Additive Layer Manufacturing or Rapid Manufacturing provides a wealth of opportunity for its users, from small economic batch production, to customisation and personalisation. The technology allows companies to reconfigure their supply chains and eliminate much of the risk associated with new product introduction. However, like any new technology, the implementation of RM must be carefully planned, and ‘knowledge and information’ must be cascaded down into businesses.
For RM to deliver maximum business benefit, many decisions must be taken, including appropriate technology and materials selection, make or buy analysis, supply chain configuration and staff development.
With new RM technologies and materials continually developing, it is often difficult for potential users to identify the most appropriate technology solutions for their given application.
Using our extensive additive manufacturing process and materials knowledge, Econolyst are able to undertake additive manufacturing technology assessments to suit clients in all sectors, from medical devices manufacture, through aerospace applications to colleges and universities looking to support teaching and research activity.
