RICOH goes for 3D printing with new experience centre

RICOH’s Customer Experience Centre (CEC) dedicated to additive manufacturing, which will be established as a place for co-creation activities. The company will expand its CEC at Telford, UK, in November 2022 to accelerate co-creation with customers and partners in the manufacturing industry. It will particularly benefit those considering using metal binder jetting 3D printers.. Through demonstrations, RICOH will help customers understand the capabilities of RICOH’s technology.

Furthermore, RICOH will also deepen its understanding of customers’ potential pain points through activities at CEC and propose solutions that can contribute to realising new value beyond customers’ expectations by providing 3D printers and a total solution for production workflow. RICOH has the technology to manufacture aluminium parts using a highly productive binder jetting 3D printer. The company can use the strength of 3D printers to manufacture aluminium parts with complex shapes that cannot be made using existing manufacturing methods.
