The qualification of Continuum’s powders for the RenAM 500 series demonstrates their compatibility and performance when used in Renishaw’s additive manufacturing systems. This synergy paves the way for enhanced circularity in additive manufacturing, providing a reliable, reclaimed material source to Renishaw’s customers who seek to integrate more sustainable practices into their production lines.
“The quality of Continuum Powders’ materials and their commitment to what they call the circular metal economy align perfectly with Renishaw’s vision for a more sustainable manufacturing future,” said John Laureto, AM Business Manager at Renishaw, Inc. “The availability of reclaimed metal powders that meet our exacting standards helps manufacturers reduce waste while maintaining peak performance.”
Continuum Powders’ CEO, Rob Higby, also commented on the collaboration: “We are thrilled to have our reclaimed powders qualified for the RenAM 500 series. This collaboration highlights our shared commitment to delivering high-quality, sustainable solutions to the market, and we look forward to further developing reclaimed powders that help customers achieve both their performance and environmental goals.”
Renishaw joins other leaders in the additive manufacturing industry who have strategically collaborated with Continuum Powders to advance the adoption of reclaimed, high-performance metal powders. These efforts are part of Continuum’s ongoing commitment to making advanced manufacturing more sustainable without sacrificing quality or performance.
At Formnext 2024, Continuum Powders will be exhibiting an oil and gas part made with their powder, built on a RenAM 500.
