Renishaw launches LIBERTAS software for its RenAM 500 series to reduce support structures and improve downskin surface finish in metal additive manufacturing.

1,230 exhibitors showcase robotics, AI, machine vision, and motion control at the Automate show.
High-speed 5-axis scanning system for CMMs that simultaneously controls head and machine motion, eliminating dynamic errors and enabling measurement speeds up to 500 mm/s. Supports interchangeable scanning, touch-trigger, surface-finish, and non-contact vision probes from a single kinematic coupling. Used in aerospace and automotive precision manufacturing to compress CMM cycle times by up to 90% versus traditional scanning.
Laser powder bed fusion metal AM system with four 500W lasers and Tempus scanning technology, which fires lasers while the recoater is moving to reduce total build time by up to 50% without quality loss. Designed for high-throughput production of complex titanium, stainless steel, and nickel alloy parts for aerospace, medical implants, and energy applications. Includes QuantAM build-preparation software and in-process monitoring.
Thermally insensitive shop-floor comparative gauging system for high-volume production inspection of machined, cast, and formed parts. Replaces hard gauges and CMMs on the production line by comparing parts against a master reference, re-mastering automatically when temperature changes. Connects to CNC controllers to enable closed-loop tool-offset correction, reducing scrap and improving Cpk in high-mix discrete manufacturing.
