Continuum Powders has set up a collaboration with Renishaw. As part of this collaboration, Continuum Powders has officially qualified its metal powders for use on Renishaw's RenAM 500 series of additive manufacturing (AM) machines. 

The qualification of Continuum's powders for the RenAM 500 series demonstrates their compatibility and performance when used in Renishaw's additive manufacturing systems. This synergy helps pave the way for enhanced circularity in additive manufacturing, providing a reclaimed material source to Renishaw's customers who seek to integrate more sustainable practices into their production lines.

“The quality of Continuum Powders' materials and their commitment to what they call the circular metal economy align perfectly with Renishaw's vision for a more sustainable manufacturing future,” says John Laureto, additive manufacturing business manager at Renishaw, Inc. “The availability of reclaimed metal powders that meet our exacting standards helps manufacturers reduce waste while maintaining peak performance.”

“We are thrilled to have our reclaimed powders qualified for the RenAM 500 series," says Continuum Powders' CEO, Rob Higby.

Renishaw joins other leaders in the AM industry who have strategically collaborated with Continuum Powders to advance the adoption of reclaimed, high-performance metal powders. 

Continuum is a portfolio company of Ara Partners.
