Roboze 3D printing: the technology that enables the Manufacturing as a Service model

Produce up to 10,000 components on demand anywhere

With the advent of new technologies, mass production has turned into customization and to meet customer needs traditional manufacturing has had to modify its industrial processes.

Batch-size-one production, or single batch, is very difficult to implement with traditional methods which do not allow particular flexibility, because they are not created to be modified and adapted continuously to new applications.

The changes made to traditional productions, useful for customizing even a single product, are often the main cause of delays in delivery, high costs, and production inefficiency. For this reason, it becomes of primary importance to reduce the time-to-market as much as possible, a fundamental aspect when it comes to customized production.

The technologies that can enable this vision are already available, and many companies are moving towards adopting them to innovate their business intelligence, transport, and warehouses to achieve greater flexibility in the supply chain.

3D printing is among these but to be suitable to meet these new needs it must be able to guarantee the same requirements ensured by traditional systems.

Roboze Automate is the 3D printing technological ecosystem dedicated to Metal Replacement developed by Roboze precisely to meet these needs.

The ARGO 500 platform allows the replacement of metals in numerous applications with enormous advantages in terms of lightness, mechanical strength, workability, and chemical resistance. It provides repeatable, controlled, and traceable systems that allows customized production for each individual customer in every part of the world. Everything within the ARGO 500 is designed to bring 3D printing into the new era of industrial production of customized medium batches (up to 3000 parts per year on a single system), reducing time and costs for manufacturing companies.

In addition to performance and maximum reliability guaranteed by the integrated control platform, the ARGO 500 can count on extreme scalability and flexibility both in terms of hardware and software.

This technological evolution allows the real application of the Manufacturing as a Service model, where additive manufacturing centers for goods close to the point of use known as Roboze 3D Parts certified manufacturing partners, significantly affect the production and procurement costs of a company.

Since the goods are produced locally, savings on logistics costs are immediate, thanks to the greater involvement of the end customer making it possible to reduce inventory costs.

By archiving a digital warehouse rather than having physical inventory warehouses, companies can significantly reduce their inventory costs by producing with Roboze industrial additive manufacturing systems, on-demand and just-in-time.

Furthermore, relying on distributed additive manufacturing centers affects the optimization of operating and maintenance costs of your machines. The cost of downtime is a hot topic, especially by small and medium-sized companies.

The 3D Parts service allows the mitigation of these risks and allows the prototyping and production phases to be more streamlined and effective.

Roboze Distributed Manufacturing: advantages for companies (and not only)

This model offers economic benefits and tangible improvements in terms of sustainability as well. Anyone can use digital drawings to produce spare parts on demand and on site. This eliminates or minimizes inventory waste, cuts down the amount of unsold finished products, producing only what is needed.

Printing what you want, where and when you want - in addition to favoring reshoring - leads to shorter and simpler supply chains, localized production and distribution models that allow benefits such as the containment of materials, energy consumption, and emissions for freight transport. At the same time, the performances of the technical materials bring improvements by decreasing the masses involved, and therefore the dynamics and the energy consumption on the machines that assemble the parts.

The next step is the development of systems for recycling the waste material produced in each print and the reuse of discarded parts.
