Renishaw AM250: specs & public price evidence
Decision context / editorial guidance
Screen the application.
Then qualify the process.
Worth investigating if: your supplier can demonstrate the required alloy, geometry and finished-part specification on the quoted Renishaw AM250 configuration.
Do not buy on this page alone: a published envelope or machine configuration does not establish repeatability, accepted-part cost or local support.
Editorial purchasing guidance, not a verified recommendation for a particular application.
Published geometry / not guaranteed part fit
Geometry needs interpretation. Use the original published specification below; no rectangular volume is inferred.

At a glance
What is it?
Renishaw AM250 is a legacy Renishaw LPBF system — the platform the AM400 and later RenAM 500 series developed from.
How does it print?
Laser powder bed fusion (LPBF): a laser melts thin layers of metal powder to build a part.
When might I consider it?
Consider it when a used AM250 is offered and the decision turns on configuration, powder handling, software transfer and remaining service support.
What public specs cannot tell you: finished-part speed, cost, quality or fit for your exact application.

Public price evidence
CLASS RECORD · 2016–2024
No verified public OEM amount exists for this legacy system. A 2020 university cost study reports an approximate $675,000 OEM quote (historical, scope undisclosed). Identifiable used machines are quote-only. Reproduced federal awards for EOS M290-class systems ($528,242–$1,383,580, 2016–2024) indicate the class, not this model’s price.

What still needs a supplier answer
| Purchasing question | Evidence gap |
|---|---|
| All-in delivered machine price | Current quote required |
| Build time for your part | Not verified for your geometry |
| Alloy and parameters | Confirm the exact qualified combination |
| Application fit | Confirm tolerances, finishing, inspection and local support |
Source review dates identify when the cited material was reviewed. A source review is not a performance test; genuine third-party corroboration is identified separately.
Prepare a useful quote request
Send your exact alloy, dimensions, orientation, supports, inspection criteria and finishing route. Ask for usable build space and effective build time for that configuration. Include installation, training, service, software, gas supply and qualification in the delivered quote. Unverified fields on this page can be used as questions to confirm directly with the manufacturer before purchase.
