“Pathfinder to Flexible Manufacturing” Raise3D launches Pro2 series 3D printers
Raise3D is launching the Pro Series: a new series of printers developed with industrial grade components, to be smoothly implemented in Flexible Manufacturing solutions based on desktop 3D printing systems. The Raise3D Pro2 series systems look very similar to the N2 series, but they are two entirely different grades of printers.
“The Pro Series printers are among the fastest in dual printing, accuracy is 16x higher than market standard, usability is greatly improved, and reliability will be a differentiating factor in the segment. Even if the N2 Series has been acclaimed as a top printer in its category, a tremendous effort was put to take the Pro Series to the next level. We can confidently say that new printers are the cream of the crop and are ready to Pathfind Flexible Manufacturing.”
The Pro2 Series thus represent a new line of printers developed with industrial grade components, to be used in Flexible Manufacturing systems.
“Even if our N2 printers have been considered among the best for desktop fabrication by Make Magazine and 3D Hubs Community, there was still room for improvement in some features. We carried out a full revision of our N2 series and designed a new printer with the best performance and quality components we could develop or find in the market. Our determination is to have the best possible FFF 3D printer to achieve our vision of Pathfinding for Flexible Manufacturing”.
Diogo Quental, Raise3D CEO
The company envisions Flexible Manufacturing systems as a relevant step for manufacturers to deal with one of their most difficult challenges: the small batches. With a Flexible Manufacturing system based on Pro2 Series, short runs can be easy to manage and to have a stable and low cost. Besides the batch size, the possibility of easily adapting to changes in the design, in the materials used, in the location of production or the integration with other systems, will allow substantial savings or reach new business opportunities.
By the end of the year, Raise3D will also offer a Service Package, a Print Management Software, customized solutions for Vertical Markets and consulting services to corporate partners who want to fully understand the value of the solutions provided. In the meantime Raise3D is recommending purchasing a few units to those that still haven’t experienced 3D printing, in order to fully familiarize with the technology’s potential. After that, Raise3D is available to supporting them finding the best Flexible Manufacturing solution for their case.
“In our roadmap will be the offering the Raise3D Corporate Package Services starting in late September. By the end of 2018, we will introduce the first customized solutions for selected Vertical Markets. This will conclude the first stage of our vision to Pathfind Flexible Manufacturing.”
The pre-sales of Pro2 Series open today, and the official sales launch will take place on the 25th of April, in Rapid + TCT show, in Texas. The current N1 and N2 series will both continue to be available. Raise3D is also working on an improved single extruder version of the N2 series.
