RPS has announced its participation in DSM’s recently-launched ‘Trimax Collective’ scheme which seeks to assist companies in their adoption of additive manufacturing (AM).
Through this initiative, made public in the build-up to RAPID + TCT, companies can invest in 3D printing hardware and materials through a leasing arrangement, designed to overcome financial constraints. Training is also being offered to combat lack of knowledge around the technology. RPS has agreed to make its NEO800 large-format stereolithography system available via the newly established Trimax Collective.
For a monthly fee, manufacturers can lease the NEO800 platform and have access to a range of DSM resins. The NEO800 promises to deliver accurate and detailed parts, while its 800 x 800 x 600 mm build volume facilitates the printing of large structures without sectioning or bonding, or large quantities of smaller components. An open materials system allows users to harness materials familiar to them or develop new grades. It has also enabled RPS to offer the system through DSM’s Trimax Collective programme, enabling users to pair the printer with an extensive portfolio of materials.
“Moving away from traditional subtractive manufacturing towards additive can be a daunting experience for some manufacturers. The Trimax Collective is a perfect solution as it is tailored to customers who want to explore 3D printing further, but who need the guidance, support and flexibility to start the journey,” commented David Storey, Director of RPS. “The foundation on what RPS is built on is the outstanding support we offer our customers and the Trimax Collective is reflective of this ethos, so we are delighted to be part of this partnership with DSM.”
“The Trimax Collective allows us to tackle the two biggest barriers to the widespread adoption of 3D printing that exist today: high investment requirements and a lack of experience with AM,” added Hugo da Silva, Vice President of DSM Additive Manufacturing. “The Trimax Collective is DSM’s way of channelling the power of our AM ecosystem to the benefit of our customers. Thanks to this programme, 3D printing will become more accessible than ever before.”
