Making a Difference in Metal 3D Printing
Renishaw is one of the world's leading engineering and scientific technology companies, and a leader in the field of additive manufacturing, or metal 3D printing technology. The company supplies products and services used in diverse applications ranging from jet engine and wind turbine manufacturing to dentistry and brain surgery.
Renishaw's Metal Additive Manufacturing Process
Renishaw's metal powder bed fusion is an additive manufacturing technology that uses a high-powered ytterbium fibrer laser to fuse fine metallic powders to create functional 3-dimensional parts. Their additive manufacturing systems can build in a range of metals, including titanium alloy Ti6Al4V, cobalt chromium, stainless steel, nickel alloys Inconel 625 and Inconel 718, and aluminum alloy AlSi10Mg..
The process is digitally driven, direct from sliced 3D CAD data. For each slice of CAD data, a thin layer of fine metal powder is deposited across the build plate, then the selected areas of the powder are precisely melted by the laser. This process is repeated building up, layer by layer until the build is complete.

RenAM 500Q is Renishaw’s multi-laser AM system. With four high power 500 W lasers, each able to access the whole powder bed surface simultaneously, RenAM 500Q achieves build rates up to four times faster than single laser systems. -
RenAM 500S is part of Renishaw's RenAM 500 series additive manufacturing machines. It is specifically designed for building metal components in a production environment. RenAM 500S can easily be upgraded to become a four-laser system to further benefit from higher build rates, whilst maintaining finished part quality, increased productivity and lowering cost per part. -
The Renishaw AM 400 is the latest development of the Renishaw AM250 platform. It features the most recent system updates including a larger SafeChange™ filter, improved optical control software, revised gas flow and window protection system and a new 400 W optical system which gives a reduced beam diameter of 70 µm. -
The RBV ancillary has been designed to easily fit into Renishaw AM system build volumes, it is quick and easy to install and remove by the user. The RBV enables rapid real-time testing and development of parameters, speeding up material development iterations.
