Rize One 3D printer
Rize One is also the only office-safe 3D printer, with no toxic particle emissions, mess or harmful materials throughout the process and without post-processing after printing.
Rize Inc. is presenting its new Rize One 3D printer to the public at SOLIDWORKS World 2017 in Los Angeles next month.
The company describe its new technology as the world’s only industrial 3D printing technology capable of producing industry-class manufacturing and end-use parts on demand in the office or additive manufacturing lab. It’s this nuance that sets it apart from the rest, according to Frank Mangarell, Rize President and CEO.
“Today’s hobby-class desktop 3D printers only serve the prototyping market and large, expensive 3D printers in labs only address the mid-volume market,” said Marangell. “Only Rize One, powered by our patented Augmented Polymer Deposition (APD) technology, serves the enormous, untapped market for safe, efficient one-offs of customised, end-use parts, tool and functional prototypes on the manufacturing floor or in the office, wherever and in whatever form that office might be.”
A robust, industrial system, Rize One uniquely produces isotropic thermoplastic parts, with detailed text and images, that are twice as strong as ABSplus. Rize One is also the only office-safe 3D printer, with no toxic particle emissions, mess or harmful materials throughout the process and without post-processing after printing. Rize believe its new printing system would be able to save users up to $500k per year in staffing costs a year and up to 100% in total processing time.
Rize’s patented Augmented Polymer Deposition, powers the Rize One 3D printer and enables the binding of thermoplastic filament with functional inks. APD is an industrial-grade 3D printing technology that involves the simultaneous extrusion of Rizium One, Rize’s own medical and engineering-grade thermoplastic, and jetting selective additives at each voxel wherever they are needed to change the characteristic of the material.
APD works by preparing the CAD file automatically, before the Rize One machine extrudes Rizium One to form the part’s support. An industrial print head then jets Release One ink wherever it is needed between the part and its support structure, to weaken the bond between these two layers. Once the part is complete, a special ink is jetted between the layers of thermoplastic as needed to change material properties voxel by voxel. Marking Ink will also be jetted wherever and whenever it is called for in the user’s file, for example to produce detailed text and images in or on the part.
After these stages of the printing process are complete, the part can simply be released from its support structure cleanly, safely and in a matter of seconds with the user’s bare hands. There is no need for filing or sanding, the part is ready to use.
The Rize One will be showcased at SOLIDWORKS World 2017 in the Los Angeles Convention Center between February 5-8, at Booth #406.
