Adaptive, Measurement‑Driven Machining for AM Parts

Dan Skulan, Head of Metrology Solutions, Renishaw Inc. March 12, 2026

With minimal remaining stock, the finishing process must assume nothing and validate everything.

This year represents four decades since AM crossed the threshold from laboratory experimentation into commercial reality, marking the beginning of an industry that reshaped how physical goods are designed and produced.
