Technology & Products
Key Products
RAM 123 robotic 3D printer; Sand printing materials; Software for mold design and printing; 3D scanners for inspection; Training and support services
Technological Advantage
Robotic additive manufacturing (RAM) platform achieves 3x faster cycle times than some OEM competitors for metal casting molds, with open architecture enabling forklift-compatible pallet integration.
Differentiation
Value Proposition
Enables foundries to produce complex sand molds and cores on-demand with robotic binder jetting, reducing lead times from weeks to days and eliminating tooling costs while improving design flexibility.
How They Differentiate
Uses robotic arms instead of gantry systems for binder jetting, offering faster cycle times (3x vs some competitors) and lower cost of entry for sand mold printing in foundries.
Market & Competition
Target Customers
Metal casting foundries and manufacturers requiring complex sand molds/cores
