Renishaw, based in Wotton-under-Edge, Gloucestershire, UK, has announced it will launch the latest offering in its RenAM 500 series of metal Additive Manufacturing machines at Formnext 2024, in Frankfurt, Germany. From November 19 to 22, Renishaw’s team will host demonstrations of the new machine on the Renishaw stand C11 in Hall 11.0.

The upcoming addition to the RenAM 500 series is expected to help meet the needs of more recent AM adopters looking for a lower initial investment, without compromising on part quality.

“After launching our most recent developments, TEMPUS™ technology and the RenAM 500 Ultra, at Formnext 2023, it felt natural to launch our next system at this year’s show,” explained Louise Callanan, Director of Additive Manufacturing at Renishaw. “The reception at the event last year was incredibly positive, with attendees excited about the exceptional results they could achieve with more productive systems.”

“Reducing cost per part has always been integral to widening the adoption of AM,” continued Callanan. “Our most recent launch of TEMPUS technology and the RenAM 500 Ultra system focused on productivity, helping manufacturers reduce build times by up to 50 per cent. As we develop the latest system in the RenAM 500 series, Renishaw aims to lower the entry barrier to metal AM, to ensure that manufacturers of any size can find a system that provides value and quality.”

All Renishaw’s RenAM 500 series systems, including the RenAM 500 Ultra, are available with high-powered lasers that access the whole powder bed simultaneously. This is said to allow for efficient laser assignment and significantly higher build rates, improving productivity and lowering cost per part. The latest RenAM 500 Ultra system is fitted with TEMPUS technology, which allows lasers to fire as the recoater moves, removing up to nine seconds of build time per layer. Existing RenAM 500 series customers can upgrade to TEMPUS technology, helping them to make the most of their machine investment.

Renishaw will launch the new system on the first day of Formnext 2024 and will host regular demonstrations throughout the event.
