Roboze One+400 Industrial 3D Printer Now Supports GE Global Research R&D Processes

As part of GE vision to explore ways of implementing 3D printing technologies in manufacturing processes, the company decided to acquire Roboze’s flagship product – the Roboze One+400 industrial 3D printer, for producing and testing durable 3D parts from 13 different types of high thermoplastic materials for advanced applications.
To its growing range of 3d printing capabilities, GE recently added new capability for printing high performance polymers at its Global Research Center in Niskayuna, New York (USA).
“We are excited to have this new 3d printer. 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.” says Scott Miller, Manager, Material Systems Lab of GE Global Research. In the early stages, the GE team will focus on PEEK for a variety of applications including in aviation.
“I’m very proud of what we have accomplished in the past year after tremendous effort in research and development”. Says Alessio Lorusso, Roboze’s Founder & 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 honored to help and support GE in their journey of leading once again new industrial revolutions”.
Teams from both companies plan to work together and share feedback on how to further improve the company’s technology for the use of advanced applications in manufacturing.
