Renishaw helps Phibo Group upgrade its production process

Phibo Group, a Barcelona-based specialist in the research, development, manufacturing and marketing of dental solutions, has purchased Renishaw's RenAM 500Q multi-laser system to optimise processes in its additive manufacturing (AM) facility, which has previously relied on single-laser systems.

"The four-laser RenAM 500Q system gives us a significant increase in productivity and precision," says Eduard Leon, Industrial Manager at Phibo Group. "The decision to opt for this solution was influenced by the improvement in safety and hygiene, as the integrated powder recirculation system does not require manual sieving by the operators, thus reducing their contact with the material. We also value Renishaw's local service and support, which is very important in a sector like ours with just-in-time production," he adds.

The RenAM 500Q is a multi-laser metal AM system with highly productive manufacturing parameters, focused on industrial environments and equipped with four high-power 500 watt lasers, a powder recirculation system and process-monitoring software.

"We have successfully integrated this new multi-laser system into an existing manufacturing set-up, meeting all the quality and functionality requirements, so that Phibo's end customers receive the same high quality product from the new production technology," says Jan Solc, AM Product Manager at Renishaw Iberica.

With this purchase, Phibo has upgraded its production processes to multi-laser technology. Eduard Len explains: "The increase in productivity is not only due to the higher number of lasers, but also to the higher power of each laser, which increases the feed rate during exposure. In addition, the strategies for using each laser can be configured to obtain better results."
