Velo3D has introduced Rapid Production Solutions (RPS), a new solution for additive manufacturing that enables companies to achieve flexible and scalable production. By using production cells, customers can expand their capacities at short notice without having to make large investments in their own systems. RPS is intended to help optimize supply chains, particularly in industries such as aerospace, defence and energy.
RPS is being introduced in response to the increasing demand for efficient and repeatable manufacturing solutions in additive manufacturing. The platform supports companies from concept development to serial production and utilizes the large-scale metal 3D printers of the Sapphire XC series.
Arun Jeldi, CEO of Velo3D, shared his perspective: “At Velo3D, we are committed to enabling our customers to scale with confidence. Rapid Production Solutions are designed to accelerate the adoption of additive manufacturing by providing flexible, high-quality solutions that are rapidly tailored to each customer’s unique production needs. This capability seamlessly compliments our success in supplying metal AM hardware systems to today’s leading OEM’s, accelerating AM adoption. By combining our technology, deep expertise, and robust ecosystem, we’re not just meeting industry demand—we’re helping shape the future of manufacturing quickly.”
The system was designed to ensure the quality and reproducibility of components. It uses measurement technology, software-supported process controls and data-supported qualification procedures. Customers have the option of integrating AM production into their own infrastructure, working with external manufacturing partners or using Velo3D production cells for short-term capacity expansions.
“Velo3D’s RPS achieved more in four months than we were able to accomplish in the previous four years—building 11 large-format proof-of-concept parts across three materials, moving 2 of 11 parts into the production pipeline, and making substantial progress on IN718 material qualification. This was made possible by Velo3D’s unique combination of in-house expertise, production cells and patented technological capabilities,” said a Supply Chain Executive from a leading aerospace engine manufacturer.
By combining technology, expertise and production capabilities, Velo3D aims to help companies efficiently integrate additive manufacturing into existing manufacturing processes and facilitate scaling.
