## Description

Nuclear AMRC is developing a manufacturing demonstration cell\. A key feature will be metrology driven manufacturing\. To achieve this we require a minimum of two laser trackers working together and integrated/communicating\. Nuclear AMRC currently has an AT960 purchased for the bulk additive manufacturing cell\. The intention is to utilise the spare capacity of this instrument and purchase a second tracker to support the metrology driven manufacturing research\. Having identical instruments supplied by the same manufacturer will ensure compatibility\.
