With Covid19 and Brexit a window of opportunity opened up with clients worried about supply chain * Reshoring cost driven at first, then not needing to order in quantity, goods in transit risks, carbon footprint and also it is much easier to talk to a local in same country on the phone * The feedback we have seen has been amazing and the cost that were perceived to be there were not really there * We have not experienced teething problems with new brexit export rule, we mainly export on single loads without problem, mixed loads with other companies have had more paperwork problems. * We use a lot of copper that is imported but not on other lines * Most of our work is single load and also a safety-net * People are realising the impact of Reshoring and how positive it can be to them

 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.
