From tooling inserts featuring conformal cooling, to lightweight structures for aerospace and high technology applications, laser melting gives designers more freedom, resulting in structures and shapes that would otherwise be constrained by conventional processes or the tooling requirements of volume production. It is also complementary to conventional machining Renishaw Inc Hoffman Estates, IL www.renishaw.com/additive technologies, and directly contributes to reduced lead times, tooling costs and material waste. ■ Shorten development time—be first to market ■ Reduce waste and cost—build only what you need ■ Increase design freedom—create complex structures and hidden features See us at RAPID BOOTH #411 2 sme.org/rapid
