Our Vision: The Future is 3D-Printed.
» Mass Production is limited.
Manufacturing techniques that enable mass production are the reason we have access to so many affordable products that make our lives comfortable and convenient.
But there’s a downside: for the things in our lives that we wear, touch, or hold - usually the things that we interact with most - a standard size and shape means an imperfect fit for basically everyone.
» Mass Customization is the future.
In crowded markets of mass-produced goods, the next step in differentiation is customization.
Imagine a world where the things you buy are 3D-printed on-demand at prices similar to the mass-produced goods we know today. The ergonomic mouse you use will be tailored in size and shape for your palm. If you wear a brace, it'll be form-fitted to your body and tweaked for strength vs. rigidity based on your intended activities- and it'll be affordable enough to replace as your needs change.
The possibilities of mass customization are endless, but this future won’t come unless we solve some issues first:
» Something stands in the way…
A small object the size of a coffee mug takes 8 hours to print. Jams happen without warning, go undetected for hours, and take about 45 minutes of trained labor to fix. Cheap 3D printers require heavy modifications in order to perform in a manufacturing business environment, and expensive ones lock you into profit-killing proprietary materials.
Manufacturing businesses are in a bind: one that keeps the cost of 3D-printed products too high and priced out of the mainstream market.
Manufacturing is about to get personal.
At R3 Printing, we’re bringing you a world where custom, 3D-printed products are available at prices that can compete with mass production.
We’re disrupting an $18 billion-dollar industry by removing the barriers to running a scalable on-demand manufacturing business powered by 3D printers. Our products are engineered to usher in a new era of customized products that are manufactured on-demand, just for you.
