There has always been significant interest from the market in seeing what 3D metal printing could bring to the table, but we do understand the cost associated with AM technologies. Additure is our way of giving engineers and manufacturers access to industry-leading Metal AM technology on British soil without needing to invest in their own machines. #### Unpopular opinion:  English beer is the best in the world #### Favourite film: Shawshank Redemption #### Favourite band: Dire Straits × ### Ian Brooks #### Technical Director ![Ian-Brooks](https://additure.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Ian-Brooks.png?width=589&height=906&name=Ian-Brooks.png) [Connect with me](https://www.linkedin.com/in/ianthomasbrooks/) ### Ian Brooks #### Technical Director I’ve been making components since I was 16 using different technologies and it's still getting me out of bed in the morning. AM is important to me, and this means I never get bored of it, or uninterested. I recognise the privilege I have in pushing AM into new businesses and sectors, and it’s a responsibility I value and take seriously.  #### Unpopular opinion: There’s nothing good on TV #### Favourite film: Wedding Crashers #### Favourite band: The Stone Roses × ### Will Priest #### Business Development Manager ![Will-Priest](https://additure.co.uk/hs-fs/hubfs/Will-Priest.png?width=589&height=906&name=Will-Priest.png) [Connect with me](https://www.linkedin.com/in/williamtpriest/) ### Will Priest #### Business Development Manager With a Mechanical Engineering design background in the Automotive and motorsport industry, I have been problem-solving in complex environments from the start.
