New AM System Aimed at Production Manufacturing
Renishaw is developing a new additive manufacturing system designed and engineered specifically for production manufacturing.
Renishaw is developing a new additive manufacturing system designed and engineered specifically for production manufacturing. Provisionally named the “EVO Project,” the system includes a 500-W laser, high-capacity filtration and automated powder handling. It is expected to be available during the second half of this year.
The new machine is designed for single-material industrial production. Powder handling is said to be almost entirely hands-off, while powder recirculation, recycling and recovery are all carried out within the inert atmosphere of the system. According to the company, the machine does not replace its AM250 system, as that machine remains better-suited for flexible manufacturing and research applications in which changes between materials required.
