Infosys and Renishaw announce partnership to deliver
innovative metal additive manufacturing solutions
Infosys,
the
world’S
leading
Engineering and IT services company,
and Renishaw, a world leader in
metrology and additive manufacturing
technologies, announced a strategic
partnership to offer an end-to-end
product development service using
metal additive manufacturing (AM)
technology.
The two companies are combining
their engineering expertise and global
resources to help customers accelerate
their deployment of AM, also known as
3D printing, for volume production of
end-use metal components. Infosys will
apply its efficient engineering processes
and design for AM knowledge to manage
product development projects from
concept through to launch. Renishaw
will support Infosys through its global
network of Additive Manufacturing
Solutions Centres, which provide
access to the latest Renishaw metal
AM technology, backed by application
engineering expertise, post-processing
capability, and metrology.
Whilst additive manufacturing is
changing the way that components
are made, its bigger impact is on the
design of products themselves. AM
enables products that are lighter
and more efficient in their use of
resources, that facilitate exceptional
heat transfer, that are integrated with
fewer joints for greater reliability, or
that arecustomisedto adapt perfectly
to a specific application. These gains
in product capability are transforming
AM into a mainstream manufacturing
technology, used in series production of
high performance parts for aerospace,
medical, automotive, oil & gas, mould&
die and consumer products.
The two companies are currently
working together on projects for
customers located in Europe, Asia and
North America
