From the Manufacturer
World-Leading Metal AM Systems with Integrated Metrology
Renishaw is a global engineering and scientific technologies company with expertise in additive manufacturing (AM), precision measurement and process control, position and motion control, and healthcare.
Renishaw's additive manufacturing solutions include metal AM systems, software, metal powders, ancillary equipment, accessories, and expert consultation and training. Renishaw can provide turnkey and optimised additive manufacturing solutions for a broad range of applications in the industrial and healthcare sectors.
Using its experience as a manufacturer and its expertise in process development, Renishaw supports its AM customers as they explore how metal 3D printing could revolutionise how they design and make products.
From aerospace and medical to oil and gas, a wide range of customers use Renishaw's advanced AM systems to fulfil a variety of industry applications where productivity, durability, customised parts and precision are key.
All AM components require a degree of finishing and inspection after they come off the build plate. Renishaw is the only company in the 3D printing industry to offer the technologies and expertise that provide both highly productive metal 3D printing AND control of finishing and downstream processes.

TCT Buyer Guidance
Questions for your Renishaw RenAM evaluation
What laser configuration does your production volume require? Renishaw offers single, dual, and quad-laser configurations in the RenAM 500 series. The RenAM 500Q (four lasers) and RenAM 500Q Flex (with TEMPUS technology, enabling lasers to fire during recoating) are designed for series production where throughput is the primary constraint. If you are in early qualification or low-volume prototyping, the single-laser RenAM 500S may be the more cost-effective entry point.
How does in-process metrology fit into your AM workflow? Renishaw is the only metal AM manufacturer that also produces the metrology systems used to inspect parts after printing — including the REVO system, Equator gauging, and CMM technology. If closed-loop quality assurance, reduced inspection cycle time, or integration with an existing Renishaw measurement infrastructure is a priority, a Renishaw end-to-end workflow from build plate to inspection report deserves serious evaluation.
What are your material qualification requirements? Renishaw provides validated parameter sets for commonly used alloys including titanium (Ti6Al4V), stainless steel (316L), Inconel 625 and 718, and cobalt chrome. Aerospace and medical applications typically require full parameter traceability and may need application-specific parameter development. Confirm whether your alloy has an existing validated set, and clarify Renishaw's process for supporting custom alloy development if required.
