The upgrade to the bestselling RenAM 500 series of metal additive manufacturing systems will reduce build time by up to half , without any loss of part quality . By lowering cost per part , these innovations will help drive wider industry adoption of AM . From November 7th to 10th , Renishaw will be running daily demonstrations of its new technology at stand C11 in Hall 11.0 .
