New 3D print techniques and printers keep the sector alive. The R&D centers of the companies continue their innovation projects. One of the most popular issue on these projects is after printing process. Rize One aims to offer a permanent solution for after printing operations.
The problems occur because of after printing process makes 3D printer users’ jobs harder. Rize Inc. brings a solution to this problem with Rize One printer.
Founded in 2012, from an experienced team of 3D printing materials, hardware and software professionals from Z Corporation, Objet and Revit, including Frank Marangell former President of Objet North America, Rize is backed by Longworth Venture Partners and SB Capital with $4M in seed funding.
The machine claims to cut turnaround time by 50%, reduce costs, improve part strength and eliminate the need for post-processing. Leveraging a patented Augmented Polymer Deposition (APD) process and Rize One, its own engineering and medical-grade thermoplastic filament, Rize says users can simply release a 3D printed part from its support structure cleanly, safely and in seconds with no filing or sanding required.
“Post-processing has been 3D printing’s dirty little secret, as engineers and additive manufacturing lab managers wrestled with the reality that post-processing parts after 3D printing often doubled the total process time; added substantial costs; and prevented 3D printers from the desktop,” said Rize CEO Frank Marangell. “Rize One eliminates those sacrifices, opening a world of possibilities for designers and engineers to deliver prototypes and on-demand finished parts much faster and with stronger material – than before. Whether 3D printing helps you go to market, or create a market, Rize will fundamentally alter your production cycle.”
