Rapid Liquid Print has developed a gel-based additive manufacturing process that suspends material in a gel medium, enabling printing in any direction without the layer-by-layer constraints of conventional FDM or SLA systems. This Gravity Free Manufacturing approach is designed for large-scale, flexible elastomer products that are difficult or impossible to produce with traditional 3D printing.
The company's printers target applications in medical devices, footwear, home goods, furniture, aviation, and automotive. Notable customers include fashion brand Coperni and office furniture manufacturer Steelcase, suggesting early traction in design-forward and functional end-use segments. The technology is also being explored for mass customization of soft, compliant parts.
Rapid Liquid Print has raised $9 million in total funding from investors including HZG Group, BMW i Ventures, and MassMutual. The company collaborates with the MIT Self-Assembly Lab, which points to a research-driven development approach. CEO Schendy Kernizan brings a background in architecture and 3D printing to the leadership team.
The gel-based process occupies a niche between industrial elastomer casting and additive manufacturing, but its scalability and material range remain open questions. Competitors listed include software firms Tech Soft, Spatial Corp, and Cimatron, though these are not direct hardware rivals, suggesting the competitive landscape is still taking shape.
