SUPPLIER SHOWCASE 26 NOVEMBER 2017 Additive Manufacturing RenAM 500M Industrial Metal Additive Manufacturing System Fully designed and engineered in-house to be used for serialized production, the RenAM 500M builds complex metal components directly from CAD using metal powder fusion technology. Highlights of the system include a Renishaw designed and engineered optical system with dynamic focusing; automated powder sieving and recirculation; 500-W ytterbium fiber laser; and patented high-capacity dual filter system. The system is designed to significantly reduce operator touch time through efficient materials handling via the onboard sieving and powder recirculation system. Process emissions are safely handled via the patented dual SafeChange filter, automatically sensing and redirecting recirculation gas to maintain optimal performance and chamber cleanliness. Ideal for industrial production applications, the RenAM 500M has a higher level of automation. Powder sieving and recirculation are carried out within the compact system automatically, reducing the need for manual handling and exposure to materials. This provides increased safety and sustained quality of metal powders. P R O D U C T S / S E R V I C E S Renishaw Inc. 1001 Wesemann Dr. West Dundee, IL 60118 U.S.A.
