Renishaw to exhibit metal additive manufacturing expertise at TCT Show.
Renishaw is to return to the TCT Show floor once again for the 21st edition of the UK's leading additive manufacturing event and is inviting visitors to come and find out more about its end-to-end additive manufacturing and vacuum casting solutions.

Also on the stand will be the Robot Bike Company’s R160 mountain bike frame. This highly customisable, carbon fibre mountain bike frame features titanium lugs that are manufactured using laser powder bed fusion technology on Renishaw’s metal additive manufacturing systems. Here Renishaw has provided its expertise in additive manufacturing, machining and metrology to help deliver a high quality bike frame from an initial design concept. Ed Haythornthwaite, CEO at Robot Bike Company will present on the TCT Show Conference main stage about how the company worked with Renishaw and other key advanced manufacturing partners to create the “world’s best mountain bike”.
