I've seen a growing number of customers benefit from OPTiMUM™ diamond-coated styli in day-to-day measurement applications. Improved wear resistance and reduced material build-up can make a real difference over the life of the stylus. 💎

Research meets manufacturing. 🔬⚙️   At Intertool X Schweissen 2026 in Wels, Marcus Witt sat down with Martin Klein, Junior Scientist at LKR Ranshofen – a 100% subsidiary of the AIT Austrian Institute of Technology and one of our partners in the Advanced Manufacturing Area. 🇦🇹   LKR's focus: wire arc additive manufacturing (WAAM) – using wire as feedstock and arc- or plasma-based processes to build large components. Originally rooted in light metals like aluminium, magnesium and titanium, they've since expanded into steels, copper and special applications for the oil and gas industry. 💡   Together with METROM, LKR demonstrated what hybrid manufacturing looks like in practice: within our Mobile Smart Factory, the system switches between WAAM and precision milling in the same setup – printing a spare part and finishing it to final contour without reclamping. 🔧   What stood out in the conversation? Two things. First, material quality: wire-based additive manufacturing in aluminium achieves near-zero porosity – and titanium and steel results are equally impressive. Second, sustainability: LKR is currently researching the production of wire feedstock from machining chips and scraps – closing the loop on titanium, now classified as a critical raw material by the EU. ♻️   Fully automatable. 24/7 capable. Cost-efficient for complex, large-format parts. That's the direction we're heading – together. 🤝   #METROM #LKR #AIT #WAAM #AdvancedManufacturing #HybridManufacturing #MobileManufacturing

High-performance scanning for the toughest environments 💎 Harnessing diamond, the hardest known material, OPTiMUM™ diamond styli are the pinnacle of stylus technology for metrology applications. Giving you unparalleled wear, no material build-up, and increased flexibility for your most challenging inspection demands. While traditional understanding may suggest that diamond styli are only suitable for rough surfaces, our rigorous testing at Renishaw reveals a different story. We’ve found that diamond-coated styli excel across various materials, making them ideal for daily use. With long-term cost advantages, be sure to add diamond-coated styli to your tool kit. #Renishaw #ApplyInnovation #Diamond #Scanning #CMM

🎥 One part. Three Renishaw RenAM 500 systems. Three levels of productivity. This video shows layer-by-layer build progress across three of our RenAM metal additive manufacturing systems: • Single laser • Dual laser (with swimlanes) • Quad laser By visualising how each system completes the same layer, the productivity impact of multi-laser systems becomes immediately clear. More lasers mean faster layer completion and improved productivity, all while maintaining part quality. #AdditiveManufacturing #MetalAM #3DPrinting #Engineering #Manufacturing

✨ Precision starts at the microscopic level. Our lapping machine is not just a tool… it’s the Technology behind ultra-fine surfaces. By combining controlled pressure, precise motion and advanced abrasives, it enhances flatness, reduces roughness and takes component performance to the Next Level. Because in precision engineering, every micron Matters. 🎥 Discover the science behind the finish. #Lapping #PrecisionEngineering #MicroFinishing #BearingTechnology #Distitec

WAAM or Meltio? Understanding the differences starts with understanding the technology. Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing (WAAM) has become one of the most established Directed Energy Deposition (DED) processes for producing large metal components. But how does it compare to Meltio's Wire-Laser Metal Deposition (LMD) technology? In our latest blog, we break down the key differences between both approaches, including: ✅ How WAAM works. ✅ The advantages and limitations of each technology. ✅ Typical applications and manufacturing capabilities. ✅ The results manufacturers can achieve depending on their production needs. Whether you're exploring metal additive manufacturing for the first time or evaluating different DED technologies, this guide provides a clear overview to help you understand where each solution fits. #3DPrinting #Metal3DPrinting #MetalAdditiveManufacturing #AdditiveManufacturing #Manufacturing #Innovation #Technology #DED #WAAM #Meltio
