Renishaw collaborated with Domin Fluid Power to share knowledge and expertise on AM, so that the latter could build complex parts without the requirement for custom tooling. The direct-drive vales are lighter, more powerful and can be manufactured more efficiently and cost effectively than by conventional subtractive machining.
Stand D100 will also feature Brunel University London’s BR-XX Formula Student race car, which includes a custom manifold manufactured by Renishaw. The Brunel Racing team faced limitations in design geometry when producing the part using traditional methods. Renishaw helped the team to produce and optimise a more ambitious design, which included additional features such as dual-stage fuel injection and improved port matching between the exhaust manifold and engine to increase efficiency.
On Wednesday 25 September at 11:15, as part of the TCT Summit on Stand F100, Ben Farmer, co-founder of Atherton Bikes, will discuss the use of Renishaw’s AM technology to build the company’s bike frames. The talk will explain how AM is increasing customer choice and innovation in the cycling industry, by taking advantage of the rapid pace of development which high-productivity multi-laser AM has to offer.
