Palmer Manufacturing & Supply Inc., Springfield, Ohio, has partnered with Viridis3D LLC, Woburn, Mass., to distribute and manufacture a robotic 3D printer for foundries in North and South America.

“This printer currently has patents pending and is a game-changer  in terms of producing only what you need, only when you need it,” said William Shambley, president, Viridis3D. “We have partnered with Palmer due to their expertise in providing heavy-duty peripherals to complete the system.  Additionally, ABB, a world leader with international sales/service, is our robot partner.”

“Robotic 3D Printing truly defines lean manufacturing,” said Jack Palmer, president, Palmer Manufacturing & Supply. He noted this technology ushers in remote production: instead of shipping castings around the world, raw materials are shipped and files are transmitted to 3D printers in strategic locations.  “This is a flexible and efficient production system unlike anything we have ever seen before.  Palmer is pleased to bring the heavy-duty mixers, powder feeders, system controls and other peripherals to this system.”

Viridis3D & Palmer are accepting a limited number of metalcasters as BETA sites.
