Unlocking the power of additive manufacturing for renewable applications (mp4)

Renishaw has collaborated with the Nova Scotia Community College (NSCC) in Canada, to produce two additively manufactured (AM) ocean turbine parts for industrial design firm Biome Renewables. Renishaw helped manufacture a PowerCone retrofit that co-rotates with the turbine’s rotor and curved propellors that reduce drag. Using metal AM to produce these parts reduced costs by 80 per cent and meant that two turbine components could be completed in two months.
