Global engineering and scientific company Renishaw is returning to TCT Show this year.

The additive manufacturing event runs for three days from 26 to 28 September, and is collocated with Interplas in Hall 4 and PPMA in Hall 5. Renishaw will showcase its end-to-end innovative manufacturing solutions for a range of industries, including automotive, consumer goods and healthcare.

Highlights on the stand include the RenAM 500M metal additive manufacturing system, with laser powder bed fusion technology, designed and built in-house by Renishaw for series part production; Renishaw vacuum casting; the TransFIORmers Moto2 bike and HiETA Technologies heat exchange solutions.

Explains Renishaw additive manufacturing business manager Stephen Crownshaw: “Additive manufacturing is already improving the automotive design process and increasing the number of lighter, stronger and improved products. In the motorsport industry, having a rapid turnaround of prototype parts can be a competitive advantage. By using metal additive manufacturing, new functional parts can be produced and tested quickly.”

A metal 3D printed bicycle frame, manufactured by Renishaw for Empire Cycles, will also be exhibited alongside the Robot Bike R160 customisable titanium and carbon mountain bike frame. A range of Renishaw healthcare solutions including dental and medical metal 3D printed parts will also be highlighted.
