Renishaw, UK, introduces the new RenAM 500M additive manufacturing system, a laser-based powder bed fusion system designed specifically for the production of metal components on the factory floor. Fully designed and engineered in-house to be used for serialized production, the RenAM 500M builds complex metal components directly from CAD models. Highlights of the system include a Renishaw-designed and engineered optical system with dynamic focusing, automated powder sieving and recirculation, a 500-watt ytterbium fiber laser, and the patented high-capacity SafeChange dual filter system.
Renishaw also recently launched Additive Manufacturing Solutions Centers. These aim to provide businesses with a secure development environment in which they can build their knowledge and confidence using additive manufacturing technology. Each center will house the latest Renishaw AM systems, and will be staffed with knowledgeable engineers, offering a fast, accessible, and affordable way to rapidly evaluate and deploy additive manufacturing.
