Renishaw appoints head of additive manufacturing

Martell joins from Delcam, where he was chief executive

Renishaw has appointed Clive Martell to the newly-created role of head of global additive manufacturing.

Martell progressed from a graduate recruit to become chief executive of Delcam, where he successfully managed the company’s transition from an AIM (Alternative Investment Market) company to an operating division of Autodesk. 

In his new role, Martell will report to Geoff McFarland, group engineering director and will be responsible for the strategy and direction of additive manufacturing (AM) across the Renishaw Group. He will liaise with development teams in the UK and sales and marketing operations across the world.

Martell will also guide the company’s AM products line based in Staffordshire, UK, which develops new AM systems and the medical dental products line, which delivers AM solutions for the healthcare sector. He will also become a member of Renishaw’s international sales and marketing board.

McFarland said: “Having worked closely with Clive Martell during my six-year tenure as a non-executive director of Delcam, I am delighted to welcome him to Renishaw. His extensive experience within the global manufacturing industry, including the ability to grow customer service activities, the development of dedicated software solutions and the establishment of Delcam’s healthcare division, will be especially valuable to Renishaw as we develop additive manufacturing as a standard solution for production applications.”
