Renishaw is introducing an upgrade for the RenAM 500 metal printer at Formnext, which halves the printing time with the same quality. This contributes to lower production costs per part. This should make 3D metal printers a suitable production technology for a wider range of products.
“To help AM become mainstream, Renishaw is tackling what has historically been a huge barrier to AM adoption: productivity. The RenAM 500 metal AM series can now build up to twice as fast as before. This dramatic change in pace reduces costs per part and broadens the range of viable applications,” said Louise Callanan, director of Additive Manufacturing at Renishawabout innovation.
Demonstrations of new technology during FormNext
More insight into AM process
The group has not yet announced details about how Renishaw manages to halve the construction time. However, it points to new tools that give users insight into more data from the 3D printing process. This gives them a better understanding of the entire process. This allows them to use the machines more optimally to produce consistently high-quality products. Renishaw will demonstrate the upgrade for the AM systems daily during Formnext. In addition to the RenAM 500Q with four lasers, the stand at the Frankfurt fair also includes the RenAM 500Flex. This machine has one laser source and is suitable for both R&D work and application development.
One of the fastest mountain bikes 3D printed
One of the applications Renishaw is showing is the Atherton Bikes AM 200M, the fastest bike in the world produced on the RenAM 500Q and with which mountain biker Charlie Hatton won the gold medal at the world championships.
Formnext takes place from November 7 – 10 at Messe Frankfurt
