Renishaw Collaborates with Dassault Systèmes

Renishaw has entered a collaboration with Dassault Systèmes to further develop software for metal additive manufacturing. This means that 3DEXPERIENCE users can now design, optimize and simulate parts for production on Renishaw systems, according to a company press release.

Both Renishaw and Dassault have software which is accessible to authorized third parties and this played a key role in the collaboration. It ensures the laser paths (scan paths) generated by DELMIA are optimized for Renishaw metal AM systems and produce the best quality builds. This open ecosystem ethos enables collaboration with other experts working towards the common goal of creating a streamlined AM software experience, the company states.

“The 3DEXPERIENCE platform coupled with QuantAM enables parts to be produced accurately from the outset, which is of tangible time and cost benefit to users. It marks the beginning of many enhancements we have in the pipeline to improve the AM user experience and streamline the front-end of the manufacturing process,’’ said Stephen Anderson, Renishaw’s director of Group Software.
