a case study on additive manufacturing
Solution
Hydrauilc block manifold redesigned for additive manufacturing
Additive manufacturing (AM) is highly suited for the design and manufacture of manifolds due
to its ability to build internal features and passageways. Renishaw has collaborated with a
customer to redesign their current hydraulic block manifold with additive manufacturing in
mind. The main goal of the project was to reduce the mass of the component whilst retaining its
robustness. Due to the increased design freedom associated with additive manufacturing, an
opportunity to increase the efficiency of the flow paths was also identified.
