Delcam’s Jan Willem Gunnink presented a paper on Combining Additive Manufacturing and Subtractive Manufacturing at the Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing conference held by the University of Nottingham on 8th and 9th July. The presentation covered one of the several case studies undertaken by Delcam to combine the two technologies, outlining many of the ‘dirty secrets’ that have been learnt along the way.  The overall conclusion was that Additive Manufacturing is like any other manufacturing technology requiring experience and specialist knowledge to ensure success. In many cases, Additive Manufacturing is being promoted as a ‘one-button-push’ manufacturing solution that is able to produce any part without the designer, engineer or operator having to consider any limitations to the process.  In fact, it has its pros and cons that must be understood and appreciated to make the best use of the benefits that the technology can offer. Some of the cons, including the quality of
