7 .1 Description
The Renishaw additive manufacturing process creates homogeneous solid metal components, using
high-powered laser energy to melt fine powder, manufacturing parts directly from 3D CAD data.
The aim of this document is to describe to a Renishaw AM system user how to use the Renishaw
InfiniAM Spectral system including hardware and software. This will include a description of how to
operate the LaserVIEW and MeltVIEW hardware, InfiniAM Spectral software, and DataHUB software
and also describe any procedures that are unique to the InfiniAM Spectral system.
This User guide has been written based on the assumption that the Renishaw AM system has been
fitted with LaserVIEW and MeltVIEW hardware, InfiniAM Spectral software and DataHUB software has
been installed, the data collector PC has been set up and all system hardware and software has been
commissioned and tested by a Renishaw Service engineer.
Renishaw has developed the InfiniAM Spectral system (Figures 3 and 4) to monitor and provide
feedback on the optical emissions from the AM process. This feedback is essential in understanding
component build quality before and after the build has completed, monitoring laser input characteristics
and beampath spectral emissions.
Data on a build is captured by the LaserVIEW and MeltVIEW hardware and written to the AM system
PC. It is then transferred from the AM system PC using a standard 1 Gigabit or 10 Gigabit Ethernet
connection to a data collector PC. The data collector PC uses DataHUB software to compile the build
data into volumes which can then be viewed on a viewing PC with InfiniAM Spectral software installed
(Figure 5). If required by the user, volumes can then be transferred to a back-up/storage server for
archiving purposes.
