It was an early start for everyone with us leaving the University at 7:30am, however everybody made it to the bus in time (although a couple were running from the hotel to make the departure time!).
Once we all arrived at Renishaw we were met by Jon Kerry who started the day with a very interesting presentation on the history of Renishaw and gave insight into the background of probing technology and the tools that Renishaw provide.
Following this, the students were given a full tour of the departments at the Wotton-under-Edge facility. The students found all aspects very interesting including seeing the large amount of 3D printing machines available, understanding how the company integrate CADCAM into the processes and how the various probes work. We even got to see some examples of the Renishaw products being used on some high profile commercial projects.
A great and informative day for the students (and the accompanying staff!!!) capped off with some lunch graciously provided by the Company. Back to the University now to put some of what has been learned into practice for the remaining modules!
