Renishaw has launched the latest in its RenAM 500 series of metal additive manufacturing machines— the RenAM 500D. This dual laser variant provides additive manfuacturing (AM) users with flexibility, productivity, and cost-efficiency, lowering the entry barrier to highly productive metal AM.

The new machine is designed to offer exceptional product quality and productivity fo... Read more...

To help broaden additive manufacturing (AM) adoption across various industrial applications, global engineering technologies company, Renishaw, has expanded the number of processable materials for its RenAM 500 series of metal AM systems. The new materials added include commercially pure copper, H13 tool steel, Hastelloy® X alloy, super-duplex stainless steel and AlSi7Mg aluminium al... Read more...

Pure copper is a highly desirable material for heat exchangers and electrical components due to its excellent thermal and electrical properties. While these properties are beneficial for the application, they also turn the process of using copper in additive manufacturing into a challenge. Here, Kenneth Nai, Principal Engineer at Renishaw, explores how to overcome this issue and use addi... Read more...
