Roboze: 3D printing solutions for industry with focus on high-performance materials – Interview with Ilaria Guicciardini

Roboze has established itself as one of the leaders in industrial 3D printing, with a focus on high-performance materials and applications tailored for demanding sectors such as aerospace, automotive and energy. In an interview with 3Druck.com, Marketing Director Ilaria Guicciardini highlights Roboze’s advanced materials and innovations, meeting industry needs and supporting efficient, sustainable manufacturing.

Unlike many additive manufacturing solutions that prioritize prototyping, Roboze’s technology is built for end-use production, enabling companies to produce functional, durable parts at scale. This shift is powered by Roboze’s proprietary materials, including Carbon PEEK and Carbon PA PRO, which offer mechanical properties comparable to metals. These advanced polymers allow manufacturers to create components that withstand extreme environments, such as high temperatures and chemical exposure, which are common in regulated industries.

One of the company’s flagship innovations, HYPERMELT, is designed to optimize the fusion of superpolymer and composite materials. This high-temperature fusion process not only enhances the mechanical integrity of printed parts but also reduces per-part costs, addressing the scalability challenge that often accompanies industrial 3D printing. By incorporating HYPERMELT technology, Roboze aims to streamline production workflows, allowing companies to transition from prototype to final product with ease.

Roboze also focuses on integration and connectivity. The company’s systems support remote monitoring and control, aligning with the trend toward digitalized production. This feature ensures that businesses can manage and adjust production parameters in real-time, maintaining efficiency and reducing downtime.

As additive manufacturing advances, Roboze enhances material performance and scalability, offering industries resilient components and supporting digital, distributed production.

Our solutions allow for remote monitoring and control, ensuring continuity and ease of management even from a distance. At Formnext, we will introduce a new development that will further facilitate the transition for companies toward more efficient and digitalized production, tackling the challenges of modern industry with cutting-edge solutions.

Additive manufacturing has made significant progress in recent years. What innovations or technological breakthroughs do you consider particularly transformative for the sector?

Among the most significant innovations, Roboze has developed HYPERMELT, a technology that enables the high-temperature fusion of superpolymer and composite materials for producing durable, large-scale parts. HYPERMELT reduces per-part costs and enhances sustainability compared to other technologies, enabling components with high mechanical and thermal performance suitable for the most demanding applications. This and other advancements in material science are transforming additive manufacturing, pushing it toward increasingly strategic applications and making it a viable choice for industrial production.

Looking to the future, what impact do you anticipate additive manufacturing will have across various industries and, possibly, on society as a whole?

Additive manufacturing is poised to transform multiple sectors, from sustainable mobility to medical, by reducing development times and resource consumption. I believe it could play a pivotal role in the shift toward a circular economy, where materials are optimized and reused locally, enabling a more distributed production model. On a societal level, additive manufacturing could contribute to creating personalized solutions and reducing environmental impact, supporting a more resilient and innovative society.
