Aga Color Solutions en Rize gaan samenwerken op het gebied van nieuwe generatie 3d printers.
Rize is een in Boston (USA) gevestigde onderneming die momenteel in de belangstelling staat met hun unieke, gepatenteerde , “Augmented Polymer Deposition” technologie. Deze hybride techniek combineert het FDM (Fused Deposit Modeling) met inkjet technologie. Door deze combinatie is het mogelijk om zeer sterke objecten te printen die ook in de verticale richting hun sterkte behouden. Objecten kunnen worden voorzien van gekleurde markeringen in hoge resolutie. Bovendien is het verwijderen van support materiaal zeer eenvoudig omdat de printer in staat is een release laag aan te brengen tussen support materiaal en het geprinte object.
De printer en de gebruikte materialen zijn veilig en uitermate geschikt om te gebruiken in een kantooromgeving.
De eerste APD printer die vorig jaar op de Amerikaanse markt is verschenen is de Rize™ One. Tot de klantenkring behoren onder andere NASA, het Amerikaanse leger en het farmaceutisch concern Merck.
AGA Color Solutions is de eerste Rize distributeur op het Europese vasteland en zal zich in eerste instantie richten op de BeNeLux.
De Rize™ One zal worden getoond op de RapidPro beurs te Veldhoven op 7 en 8 maart aanstaande op de stand van AGA Color Solutions.

Agreement expands sales of Rize 3D printers into mainland Europe
WOBURN, Mass. 9 January 2018 – Rize Inc., a Boston, USA-based, next-generation additive manufacturing company, has entered into a partnership with AGA Color Solutions to provide sustainable and inclusive solutions based on Rize’s Augmented Polymer Deposition (APD) technology and grow sales of Rize 3D printers in Benelux.
Established in 1936, AGA Color Solutions is a distributor of 3D printers, wide format digital printers, screen printing supplies and industrial digital inks. They have earned a reputation for providing top-quality, agile and client-focused solutions to their customers in the Benelux region.
“Rize’s hybrid APD technology is truly a breakthrough in additive manufacturing,” said Ifredo Baas, Managing Director of AGA Color Solutions. “It’s superior material properties and part strength, safe and sustainable process and unique multi-material capability for producing intelligent parts, will pervasively expand use of the technology to existing and new users and significantly grow our business.”
“We are delighted to add AGA Color Solutions to our rapidly growing ecosystem of global partners,” said Andy Kalambi, President and CEO of Rize. “With a committed and customer-centric team, AGA Color Solutions shares our ethos for providing inclusive and sustainable solutions that will enable their customers to scale additive manufacturing across the value chain.”
AGA Color Solutions will demonstrate the Rize™ One 3D printer at RapidPro, 7-8 March in Veldhoven. Rize One will also be featured at CES in Dassault Systèmes’ booth 8300 this week, 9-12 January, in the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center.
About Rize
Rize Inc is a Boston, USA-based, next-generation additive manufacturing company dedicated to inclusive and sustainable innovation to achieve Additive at Scale. Rize recently released its first product, Rize™ One, which is winning industry and customer accolades. Gartner named Rize ‘Cool Vendor in 3D Printing 2017’ and prestigious organizations like NASA, US Army, US Navy and Merck have chosen the product for supporting their additive manufacturing needs.
Rize One, the world’s first hybrid 3D printer, is a breakthrough combining two discrete technologies, Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) and Piezo Jetting. This is enabling companies to sustainably deliver a vast range of custom and replacement manufacturing parts with the highest isotropic strength.
The breakthrough is made possible through Rize’s patented technology called Augmented Polymer Deposition (APD), which enables inclusive multi-material printing with minimal post processing and the sustainable use of safe, non-toxic and recyclable materials. Intelligent products increasingly require parts with variable materials, which include mechanical, electrical and chemical properties. Rize’s inclusive APD process fuses them into unified parts, enabling innovators to deliver unprecedented customer experiences.
Rize solutions combine strength, safety, security and speed, all at the most competitive price point in the industry.
