CEL-UK Integration and Expansion of Additive Manufacturing

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

CEL developed our first 3D printer, Robox, in 2014 in response to a need within this new market for a machine which is easy to use and reliable with wide range of uses suitable for professional and home users. Our aim to create a machine which can produce high quality items without prior knowledge of 3D printing was rewarded consecutively in 2016 and 2017 by the huge user base of 3D hubs with title "Best of Plug'n'Print". Robox has been complimented with upgrades and accessories over the past few years which have easily kept it ahead of competitor feature-sets. Key to this is a patented material flow control system which is unique to Robox. This system is being included in a new product which will expand the maximum possible build size and therefore the potential market for Robox machines. Funding from an innovation loan will help CEL to grow with a market which has huge potential as a technology export for the UK. In addition to an expanding range of products CEL has secured funding which will enable us to use our knowledge of additive manufacturing systems and techniques to create new methods of utilising these tools. This new innovation in industrial additive manufacturing will futher boost UK technology output.
