In the world of industrial manufacturing, even the most advanced technology delivers little value if it’s not integrated correctly. Additive manufacturing (AM) is no exception. While high-performance materials and hardware play a crucial role, the real shift happens when companies are supported through every phase of the transformation: from evaluation to production. 

The misconception: AM adoption stops at the machine 

Too often, additive manufacturing is treated like a one-time purchase. A printer is installed, and expectations rise. But without proper onboarding, parameter tuning, and team training, results fall short. Many companies report significant challenges in integrating additive manufacturing. A study conducted by Materialise and B2B International in 2023, involving 327 manufacturing firms in the US, Germany, and Japan, found that while 98% of respondents recognize the value of 3D printing, 36% struggle to recruit experts, and 33% cite a lack of in-house expertise as a key barrier to adopting and scaling the technology effectively. The consequence? Unused equipment, underperforming parts, and missed ROI targets. 

From onboarding to industrial results 

At Roboze, support isn’t an add-on: it’s a strategic asset. Our engineers work side by side with customers to: 

• Evaluate part feasibility and identify the right material 

• Optimize the CAD-to-print flow, leveraging proprietary slicing and print parameterization 

• Train operators in real industrial scenarios using Roboze Academy 

• Support the first production batches to ensure consistency and quality 

This ecosystem is designed to reduce trial-and-error time and accelerate time-to-value, especially in critical sectors like aerospace, energy, railway, and mobility. 

Case in point: how training unlocks productivity 

A leading supplier in the railway sector integrated Roboze’s technology into its maintenance operations. Thanks to hands-on technical training and support in optimizing material profiles, the team cut production time by over 40% within the first quarter. Without this know-how transfer, the same transition would have taken months. 

Knowledge is a productivity multiplier 

Introducing new manufacturing models requires a mindset shift. That’s why Roboze Academy focuses not just on how to use the machine, but how to design, plan, and deliver parts optimized for additive. Courses are tailored for technicians, production managers, and engineers, ensuring each function speaks the same language. 

Moreover, Roboze On Demand service extends this know-how to companies that want to test applications or scale production without immediate hardware investment. 

Additive isn’t just technology. It’s a partnership. 

Without guidance, AM can be a black box. With the right support, it becomes a controlled, scalable production tool. At Roboze, we help companies make that leap, with real people, proven processes, and a strategic approach to change.
