Morphology

render + machine

Although 'rendering machine' is compositionally a 'machine that renders', the ordinary B1 sense of 'render' given (to cover masonry with plaster) does not match the technical computing sense (to generate images). This is domain-specific vocabulary (technical jargon/polysemy) so a learner who only knows the common meanings of the parts is unlikely to infer the intended meaning without prior exposure.

Etymology

Rendering machine comes from the verb render meaning 'to cover a wall with plaster'; it is a machine that sprays or spreads wet plaster or cement over walls quickly, so the phrase means a tool for applying plaster to buildings.
