Renishaws expertise
We design and manufacture additive manufacturing systems for manufacturing components in a variety of metals using a process called metal powder bed fusion (or laser melting). Our expertise in process development and our experience in using the technology in our own manufacturing operations enable us to provide turn-key and optimised additive manufacturing solutions for a broad range of applications in the industrial and healthcare sectors.

What is AM?
Additive manufacturing (AM), also called 3D printing, creates a three-dimensional part from a digital file.
Thin layers of material are used to create complex shapes which cannot be produced by 'traditional' techniques such as casting, forging and machining.
AM provides new design possibilities, including opportunities to combine multiple components in production, minimise material use and reduce tooling costs.
Where we specialise
Performance
Improving the predictability of additive manufacturing to create a consistent and stable process boosts process throughput and the delivery of functional parts.
Safety
When you own or operate an AM system, you are responsible for safety. With Renishaw, you can be confident that you have chosen a supplier whose equipment meets the highest standards, so that your processes and procedures offer appropriate levels of protection.
Innovative processes
Our additive manufacturing (AM) solutions enable the production of lattice structures, and part consolidation for lightweighting, complex internal galleries to optimise fluid flow, and design for AM (including topological optimisation).
Service & support
Our global team of applications engineers provide in-country support with design for AM, system training, process optimisation, parameter development and much more. We also offer a range of service and maintenance packages to suit your exact needs.
