Cliff Notes Podcast: Lead manufacturing

This episode we get into a good conversation with Colin Cater of Tri-Tech 3D and Cadspec on Additive Manufacturing. Colin truly is an AM veteran working from the traditional days of the factory floor toolmaking to now working with state of the art 3D Printers and CAM software. This recording was made over the phone during Covid-19 lock-down so hope the experience of Colin shines though. Show Notes http://cliffnotespodcast.com/podcasts/33/

• The pace of CNC is moving as fast as additive
• You can print in 20 materials, but you tend to dedicate a material to a machine, as cross contamination would be a no in medical and aerospace
• It is a lights out process where cnc needs an operator all the time
• It is not to machine a part cheaper, but to take parts further

So give colin and Tri-Tech 3D a call, after listening.

Peter Hartland of Acorn Quality Services shares advice on what your business can get from working with International Business Standards with Cliff Notes: Lead manufacturing host Tristan Bailey.

Get access to more contracts and raise standards in your business.

What you'll learn with cliff notes on International Standards

• Standards we specialise in is Aerospace AS9100, AS9120, ADCAP audits, ISO9001 and CE marking for medical devices.
• All standards cover whole business, all the way from the concept through people and process to customer satisfaction.
• The guys on the shop floor are the clever ones, I am just documenting it for them.
• What we are always looking for happy customers.
• The skills we have as auditors is all about people skills and get the people relaxed, not interrogate them.
• Working with a 6 man business, they have now won a £8 million contract over 4 years, so they were over the moon as you can imagine.
