A Healthcare Centre of Excellence has been announced by Renishaw at its Miskin site, located close to Cardiff, South Wales. The Centre, which was formally opened on 29th September by The Rt. Hon Carwyn Jones AM, First Minister of Wales, provides a facility for the manufacture of custom medical devices, as well as education and training for the life sciences community.

It has been announced that Renishaw is contributing its additive manufacturing expertise to a £17.7m project, being led by Airbus in the UK, to develop an innovative way of designing and manufacturing aircraft wings, which will encourage a 'right first time approach' and reduce development time. 

French Moto2 team TransFIORmers won its first race at the CEV Repsol European Championship in Barcelona in June 2016. The team used a front suspension system including an additively manufactured (3D printed) titanium wishbone produced using Renishaw’s AM250 manufacturing system.

Renishaw is set to return to this year’s Develop3D Live event taking place on the 31st March, 2016, at Warwick Arts Centre, Warwick University, UK. Highlights at the show will include the company’s new build preparation software for Renishaw Metal Additive Manufacturing systems, QuantAM, and the latest updates on its upcoming global Additive Manufacturing Solutions Centres network.

Renishaw, the global engineering technologies company is presenting new products at formnext 2015, which takes place in Frankfurt, from 17th-20th November 2015. The company will be exhibiting as Renishaw plc, with the main stand in Hall 3.1, stand E60 and as Renishaw LBC Engineering, on stand D78. The new products include two new metal additive manufacturing (AM) systems and a new build preparation software package.

Renishaw has 3D printed a special gift fit for royalty. The company additively manufactured a replica of its nineteenth century Mill headquarters building and gave the unique piece to Her Royal Highness, The Princess Royal, when she officially opened Renishaw's new Innovation Centre and presented the company with its eighteenth Queen's Award. The visit came 35 years after HRH The Princess Royal opened an extension to the company’s first com...

  Renishaw Diagnostics has developed a rapid PCR-based test for the detection of the agents that cause Invasive Fungal Disease (IFD), which could make diagnosis quicker and more accurate, reducing the need for anti-fungal therapy for most patients.

Bristol school children will be given the chance to design and build their own digital music instruments, thanks to a new three year partnership between Bristol Music Trust and global engineering company Renishaw. The two organisations have come together with hi-tech educators Conductive Music to create an inspiring education programme that combines engineering, maths and music, giving 7-11 year olds the opportunity to learn about music technolog...

At EMO 2015, which takes place from 5th to 10th October in Milan, Italy, Renishaw will introduce Inspection Plus with SupaTouch. This enhanced software package automatically optimises on-machine measurement cycles to minimise cycle time and maximise productivity. 

Renishaw's TONiC linear and rotary encoder systems feature integral set-up LEDs that are usually sufficient for installation purposes, giving a visual indication of the signal level and calibration status. Those customers with the most challenging set-up requirements are now supported by an optional PC software package for use in conjunction with a diagnostic hardware kit.

This festival season, Renishaw is spreading the word about additive manufacturing by presenting the world-famous Renishaw-Empire metal 3D printed bike at several business and family friendly events across the UK. The highlight of the summer is CarFest South, taking place between 28th and 30th August at Laverstoke Park Farm in Hampshire.

In a show of support for the Additive Manufacturing (AM) community, global engineering technology firm Renishaw is sponsoring an internationally renowned, knowledge transfer event focussed on production using additive layer-based technologies. The Additive Manufacturing and 3D Printing International Conference, organised by the University of Nottingham, will be held at the Nottingham Belfry between 7th and the 9th of July 2015.

Renishaw will enjoy a significant presence at RAPID this year, from 18th to 21st May, in Long Beach, California. The leading US trade exhibition for additive manufacturing and 3D printing is now in its 25th year. Renishaw will showcase its innovative metal Additive Manufacturing (AM) and vacuum casting systems, alongside a range of metrology products, at Booth 1022.

  Renishaw has been featured in the 2015 edition of Guinness World Records for manufacturing the world’s first 3D printed titanium alloy bicycle frame. The project was completed in collaboration with British bike manufacturer Empire Cycles.

From the Greek 'topo' meaning 'place' and 'ology' meaning 'study', topological optimisation is the study of mathematically optimising material layout. When approaching a component part in this way, the end goal is to remove superfluous material in areas of low stress whilst maintaining structural integrity of the whole; the lighter and stronger the better.

Adding laser melting to it’s additive manufacturing research and development technologies, Cardiff University has invested in a Renishaw AM250 machine. With this addition, the university’s Additive Laboratories at it’s School of Engineering have adopted a more holistic approach to manufacturing. 

  Having obtained a compliance certificate from TÜV SÜD for its AM250 laser melting machine, Renishaw intends to help 3D printing evolve from being considered an emerging technology, reserved for design and testing, into a mainstream manufacturing tool.
