‘We want to make 3D printing inclusive, sustainable and scalable’
3D printing has been around since 1986 when Stereolithography was first invented. Since then, the technology has evolved a lot. However, the technology has largely been in the domain of experts, and many people didn’t have access to 3D printers. The reason is that there’s a lot of complexity attached to the 3D printer as well as the pre- and post-processing of the part. That complexity creates the need for expertise and specialisation. It also creates the need for facilities where the printers are kept away from users.
RIZE is a 3D printer manufacturer with an ambitious goal: to make industrial 3D printing inclusive, sustainable and scalable. Founded in 2014, the Boston-based company has developed its proprietary Augmented Deposition technology, designed to enable the production of high-quality, digitally augmented 3D-printed parts.
In an e-mail interview with DIGITAL CREED, Varun Gadhok, Sales Director, Asia Pacific, RIZE Inc outlines the company’s vision and explains how Augmented Deposition Technology can solve problems encountered in 3D printing.
