Continuum Powders has announced the successful qualification of its reclaimed metal powders for use in Renishaw’s RenAM 500 additive manufacturing systems. This collaboration underscores both companies’ dedication to advancing sustainability in high-performance manufacturing materials.
The qualified powders, tailored for Renishaw’s AM systems, offer manufacturers a sustainable alternative by integrating reclaimed metals into production while maintaining performance standards. This step aligns with Renishaw’s sustainability goals and enhances circularity within the additive manufacturing sector.
