Technology Supply Chain Awards: RYSE 3D scores with innovation and in-house development

The British company RYSE 3D impressed twice at the Technology Supply Chain Awards in Birmingham. Co-founder Mitchell Barnes was named “Young Innovator”, while the company itself received the title of “Engineering Innovator of the Year”. In just a few years, the Warwickshire-based company has grown from a start-up in a garage to a manufacturer worth almost five million pounds, supplying components for industries such as automotive, aerospace and consumer goods.

At the heart of its success is the development of its own large format 3D printer called LANDR, which is designed and manufactured entirely in the UK.

“We are all about innovation…innovation in our products, innovation in our processes and innovation in how we tackle the 3D additive manufacturing world,” commented Mitchell Barnes. “That is why this Technology Supply Chain Awards mean so much. It’s all about the way we are changing the engineering world for the better – whether that is providing hypercar projects with lighter parts, the aviation sector with more flexible security options or through the introduction of LANDR.”

With an installation space of 500 x 500 x 500 millimetres, the LANDR printer opens up new possibilities for both prototyping and series production. Applications can be found in numerous industries, from automotive projects to medical devices. RYSE 3D has already secured £200,000 worth of orders ahead of its launch, further increasing interest in the printer.

He continued: “These high-powered 3D printers are now being used in our own production facility, as well as giving SMEs, tech disruptors and entrepreneurs access to this cutting technology at a price point that makes it affordable. Nearly £200,000 of orders are already in the pipeline and there’s no doubt this latest title will help generate further interest in what we are trying to do.”

With further developments planned, RYSE 3D aims to not only expand its product portfolio but also contribute to the UK as a technology hub. The recent awards underline that the company is on a promising path.

Mitchell concluded: “2024 has been some year, with the King’s Award for Innovation, the Rising Star accolade and now the ‘Engineering Innovator’ and ‘Young Innovator’ titles to add to the collection. It proves we’re doing something right and we’re going to continue to be bold and brave in the way we support our growing client base and how we are looking to develop a real technology hub in the UK.”
