CEL-UK Integration and Expansion of Additive Manufacturing

CEL于2014年开发了我们的第一台3D打印机Robox，以满足这个新市场对易于使用且可靠的机器的需求，适用于专业和家庭用户。我们的目标是创造一种机器，可以在没有3D打印知识的情况下生产高质量的产品，这一目标在2016年和2017年连续获得了3D集线器的巨大用户群的奖励，并获得了“最佳Plug'n'Print”称号。在过去的几年里，Robox一直在进行升级和配件，这很容易使其领先于竞争对手的功能集。关键在于获得专利的物料流控制系统，这是Robox独有的。该系统被纳入一种新产品中，这将扩大最大可能的构建尺寸，从而扩大Robox机器的潜在市场。来自创新贷款的资金将有助于CEL在英国技术出口潜力巨大的市场中发展。除了不断扩大的产品范围外，CEL还获得了资金，这将使我们能够利用我们在增材制造系统和技术方面的知识来创造利用这些工具的新方法。工业增材制造的这一新创新将进一步推动英国的技术产出。

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.
