Renishaw, a global additive manufacturing specialist, has announced its attendance at the Defense Manufacturing Conference (DMC) 2025. This premier national forum for advancing defense manufacturing will take place at Caribe Royale Orlando in Florida, from November 17-20, 2025. Renishaw will be showcasing its innovative technologies and services that support the aerospace and defense sector, including for suppressor applications.
Renishaw uses its expertise in additive manufacturing and metrology to support various aspects of the aerospace and defense sector. The company’s products and technologies are used in manufacturing to boost efficiency, dimensional accuracy, and cost reduction. Renishaw’s technology is applied in diverse applications, from fighter jet systems to personal defense platforms.
John Laureto, Business Manager for Renishaw’s Additive Manufacturing Group in the Americas, commented, “DMC 2025 is an invaluable opportunity for Renishaw to connect directly with the defense community. Our long-standing success in supporting critical sectors, particularly the suppressor industry, highlights our commitment to delivering advanced solutions.”
Renishaw will be showcasing its RenAM 500Q metal additive manufacturing (AM) system. The RenAM 500Q boasts exceptional laser density on the powder bed, at 64 lasers per square meter, making it ideal for manufacturers aiming to produce top-quality components at a lower cost per part. It offers fast build speeds of up to 254 cc/hour with its four 500 W lasers, automatic powder recycling, and vacuum atmosphere preparation. This system delivers consistent and repeatable part quality, achieving 99.9 per cent density and optimized properties across the entire build plate.
Another focus will be TEMPUS™ technology, a new scanning algorithm for the RenAM 500 series systems. This innovative technology allows the system’s lasers to fire while the powder recoater is moving, removing up to nine seconds of build time from every layer. With builds frequently containing thousands of layers, this can cut build times by tens of hours, leading to a time reduction of up to 50 per cent without affecting part quality. This time and cost saving maximizes return on machine investment for existing users and makes new applications viable for AM.
At DMC 2025 Renishaw will demonstrate the capabilities of its platforms, technologies, and services that support its customers in the US defense manufacturing community. Renishaw’s booth will feature various components and mock-ups of machines, including aluminum heat exchange components and suppressor displays.
Renishaw looks forward to engaging with industry leaders, experts and policymakers at DMC 2025, demonstrating its continued dedication to advancing manufacturing capabilities within the defense sector.
