  Case study: Digging deep with Wassara

  Wassara is a Swedish based mining company with a number of innovative products capable of extracting minerals with minimum environmental impact. Wassara’s technology uses high pressure water to power the Down-The-Hole (DTH) hammer. The challenge is to reduce cost and increase reliability of the production of the sliding case component of a down-the-hole (DTH) hammer by employing Renishaw's metal additive manufacturing technologies.

  News release: Digging deep with Wassara

  The mining business needs new drilling solutions to tackle the mounting productivity demands placed upon the industry. These solutions need to be relatively environmentally friendly as well as cost competitive compared to current drilling solutions. Many existing underground mines are reaching extreme depths that current mining methods find difficult to manage cost-effectively. New ore deposits are deeper with leaner yields. These factors demand larger scale mining and resource planning with new, more efficient and precise drilling.
