Renishaw has signed an agreement with FalconTech Co Ltd to build an additive manufacturing (AM) solutions center in Wuxi, China.
Located in Wuxi, Jiangsu province, FalconTech focuses on the rapid manufacturing components for aerospace, biomedical, marine, chemical and other engineering applications. Through the partnership, FalconTech will be Renishaw’s distributor for its AM technology in China. It will also purchase 10 RenAM 500M metal additive manufacturing systems over the next eighteen months, with the first three units to be installed by the end of July 2017.
‘We are excited to be a Renishaw Solutions Centre partner in China,’ said Shen Yu Lan, managing director of FalconTech Co Ltd. ‘Combining FalconTech's expertise in aerospace with Renishaw's technology and manufacturing expertise, the Additive Manufacturing Solutions Centre can create a platform on which we can work in close partnership with customers to help them realise the benefits of AM in their products and manufacturing processes.’
