Dual Laser AM System

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

The RenAM 500D features two 500 W lasers that can access the entire build platform, offering enhanced performance when compared with single laser systems, according to the company. Additionally, the RenAM 500D Ultra, fitted with Renishaw's TEMPUS technology, allows the laser to fire while the recoater is moving, saving up to nine seconds per build layer. This also helps to deliver a production speed up to three times faster than conventional single laser systems, the company reported.

The improved speed and output of dual laser systems, including the 500D, 500D Flex and 500D Ultra, enables companies currently using single laser systems to expand their production capabilities without expanding their factory footprint.

The RenAM 500D models are fully compatible with Renishaw's AM software suite, including Renishaw Central and QuantAM. This seamless integration allows current AM users to introduce the dual laser system to operations without any interruptions to their workflows.

The RenAM 500 series is a versatile range of solutions that cater to every stage of the AM journey, from initial prototyping to full-scale production. Machines in Renishaw's RenAM 500 series are equipped with high powered lasers that access the whole powder bed, intelligent gas flow for greater part quality and configurable powder handling.
