Cardiff University in Cardiff, Wales, has been implementing 3D printing technology since the mid-1990s, using metal and plastic printing machines in their Additive Manufacturing Labs at the School of Engineering. The school has just added a new 3D printer to their line-up: the AM250 metal laser melting machine from Renishaw.
The AM250 printer utilizes a ytterbium fiber laser to melt metal powders at thicknesses as fine as 20 microns and as large as 100 microns. Director and General Manager of Renishaw’s Additive Manufacturing Products Division, Simon Scott, believes that the machine, capable of producing fully dense parts, will complement the university’s machines greatly, saying, “Renishaw is delighted that Cardiff have chosen Renishaw additive manufacturing technology to accompany the already very extensive facilities.…
