GE will look to utilise the Roboze One+400’s ability to print high performance polymers at its Global Research Center in Nishkayuna, New York.
GE has added the Roboze One+400 industrial 3D printer to support the company’s global research and development processes.
Continuing its commitment to accelerating 3D printing technologies across the company, GE will use Roboze’s flagship product for producing and testing durable 3D parts from 13 different types of high thermoplastic materials for advanced applications.
The multinational conglomerate has, in recent years, become one of the most prevalent supporters for 3D printing for concept design, prototyping and manufacturing processes. Last year the company launched GE Additive, and acquired German metal 3D printing company, Concept Laser. Now, GE will look to utilise the Roboze One+400’s ability to print high performance polymers at its Global Research Center in Nishkayuna, New York.
“We are excited to have this new 3D printer,” said Scott Miller, Manager, Material Systems Lab of GE Global Research. “It will let us explore ways to take advantage of 3D printing from high performance polymers such as PEEK. We will also be able to evaluate new designs with greater complexity enabled by 3D printing in areas where we already use high performance polymers.”
Roboze, an innovative developer and manufacturer of advanced FFF 3D printing solutions, aims to offer its clients accessibility to high-temperature thermoplastics materials for producing durable parts with high accuracy and repeatability. This technology has enabled professional users in a variety of industries to manufacturer end use metal replacement 3D parts, as well as parts for real functional testing.
“I’m very proud of what we have accomplished in the past year after tremendous effort in research and development,” said Alessio Lorusso, Roboze’s Founder and CEO. “Successfully delivering our Roboze One+400 to the laboratories of GE Global Research in Niskayuna, points out to one main conclusion – our innovative 3D printing technology will be part of the global industrial revolution, offering ways to substantially reduce manufacturing costs, which is a primary goal of all large industrial corporations.
“We will work closely with our customers to follow their changing needs, and provide them with new solutions focusing on reinforced metal replacement materials. I’m honoured to help and support GE in their journey of leading once again new industrial revolutions.”
