Problem
Current 3D printing methods are limited by size constraints, slow production speeds, and material limitations, hindering true mass customization. Traditional manufacturing processes often require costly tooling and are not suitable for complex, non-planar designs.
Solution
Rapid Liquid Print (RLP) offers a patented Gravity Free Manufacturing™ technology that addresses these limitations by 3D printing objects within a reusable gel suspension. This enables the creation of large-scale, complex, and stretchable products without the need for tooling or post-processing. RLP's approach facilitates rapid production and mass customization across diverse industries, including medical, automotive, and consumer goods, by unlocking previously impossible designs. The proprietary RLP software optimizes toolpaths to follow surface curvature, ensuring high-quality surface finishes and isotropy.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes businesses in the medical, apparel, home goods, aviation, marine, and automotive industries seeking cost-effective solutions for manufacturing complex, customizable products.
