The RenAM 500D is the newest addition to Renishaw’s lineup of laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) systems. The dual laser configuration of the 500D series delivers higher throughput and reduced production times compared with single laser systems, helping to reduce cost per part, the company says. 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.
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 RenAM 500D models are fully compatible with Renishaw's AM software suite, including Renishaw Central and QuantAM. This seamless integration ensures that current AM users can introduce the dual laser system to operations without any interruptions to current workflows.
