Optical System Verification (OSV)

Verify the laser power, focus and scanfield on your RenAM 500 series additive manufacturing (AM) system.

Empowering our customers

Optical System Verification provides a smart, seamless way of introducing process quality controls into your AM production workflow - at a time and frequency that suits you.

What is Optical System Verification?

Optical System Verification (OSV) refers to user-friendly tests that our RenAM 500 series customers can perform on their own machine to check and calibrate the focus, power and scanfield of their laser system.

A trained operator will be able to set up and carry out all three tests in a few minutes. The total time to complete the process is approximately 1 hour 30 minutes.
