2017 Renishaw AM400 Cobalt Chrome

# Renishaw AM400 (2017) – SLM System for Cobalt Chrome Used laser melting system by Renishaw, manufactured 2017, located in Düsseldorf. The machine has been operated exclusively with cobalt chrome and is suitable for the manufacturing of medical implants and dental applications. ## Technical Data and Machine Condition **Technology:** SLM (Selective Laser Melting) **Operating Hours:** - Total runtime: 76,152,824 seconds (approx. 21,154 hours) - Laser burn time: 737,554 seconds (approx. 205 hours) - Completed build jobs: 26 - Printed layers: 17,537 The ratio of laser burn time to total runtime indicates moderate production utilization. The comparatively low number of completed builds in relation to the documented layer count suggests complex components with high layer counts. ## Application Area The AM400 system is designed for industrial series production. Cobalt chrome alloys are primarily used in medical technology (hip/knee implants, dental prosthetics) as well as in turbine manufacturing. The machine features a closed process chain with powder handling and inert gas atmosphere. Suitable for manufacturing operations with quality requirements per ISO 13485 or comparable standards.
