March 2020CIOAPPLICATIONS.COM 19industry, we offer unparalleled 3D printing capacity, bringing about a greater revolution to transform it. Similarly, for the healthcare industry, we increase the possibility of full customization according to patients' needs, specifically in the areas of prosthetics and orthotics, cost-effectively and efficiently.Besides these industries, we are also witnessing traction across many industries in small-batch production runs, spare parts management, and jigs and fixtures manufacturing space as well.Please elaborate on a success story where Raise3D assisted its client in reaping the benefits of 3D printing.Sceptical attitudes toward additive technologies are not rare. Most organizations are under the impression that industrial machines that can be really helpful are expensive, and the rest of the available equipment are fit only for printing home devices or children's toys. The experience of one of the world's largest manufacturers of railway equipment--nips such an idea in the bud. The company produces functional component parts and prototypes for locomotive facilities and transport engineering enterprises. Its production is mainly based on additive technologies, but the company is also exploring new directions, such as metal spraying, laser cladding, and plasma surfacing.They bought their first 3D printers--Raise3D Pro2--with two extruders about a year ago, and later we were informed by the manager of the Additive technologies project that their experience of using 3D technologies in transport engineering was extremely seamless.The manufacturer today implements additive technologies in the production of functional component parts and prototypes for locomotives, tractor plants, and more. First off, they visit depots and locomotive repair plants and, based on it, prepares the list of scarce pieces and other products with delivery problems, including discontinued component parts or products with lost documentation. Following that, they scan the component part or create a 3D model in a special program and reengineer it, if necessary, and then print it using our 3D printer. They can also paint and make amendments to the parts if required.What lies ahead for Raise3D in the future?For the future, we will be offering more products and services in order to improve the entire 3D printing ecosystem. We also plan to increase the range and capabilities of our products by adding technical plastics and metal filaments to our portfolio, which will not only help our existing customers but will also allow us to gain more traction. We intend to lead, rather than follow in terms of flexible manufacturing with 3D printing. Further, we are planning to launch customized products for each industry that we serve, along with products focused specifically on flexible manufacturing. We already have a team that assists our clients in finding the best solution that fits their needs, and on the same line, Raise3D will continue encouraging its clients to provide feedback to improve its products and services. We have a dedicated team at work that plays an instrumental role in transforming our vision of facilitating flexible manufacturing with innovative 3D printing systems to reality
