Met-L-Flo Inc., a 3-D printing and rapid prototyping service bureau, is the first North American service bureau to work with Roboze, an Italian-based additive manufacturing (AM) machine manufacturing company. The utilization of this technology at Met-L-Flo is effective immediately.
With more than 30 years of service, Met-L-Flo provides AM capabilities to a variety of industries including aerospace, defense, medical and industrial. Met-L-Flo holds certificates including AS 9100, ITAR and ISO 9000.
"The ability to use the Roboze high-temp materials and printers is exciting," said Carl Dekker, President of Met-L-Flo. "We hope these materials will allow us to produce additional applications for our customers - we are especially excited to see where this takes AM in defense."
Roboze specializes in the manufacture of AM solutions designed for applications in aviation, defense, space and manufacturing sectors. Roboze produces desktop 3-D printers that use the process of fuse filament fabrication (FFF). Instead of traditional rubber belts, Roboze's advanced "beltless system" technology allows for a position accuracy of up to 25 microns due to its patented rack and pinon mechatronic motion in the X-Y axis.
"We are proud to have Met-L-Flo join our team and our customers will benefit from the wide range of services and experience that Carl and his team have to offer," said Ron Weavil, NA Territory Manager at Roboze Inc.
Met-L-Flo will start off with the addition of the Roboze One +400. With Met-L-Flo's ITAR certification and Roboze's specialty in defense, the partners look forward to collaborating by facilitating innovate solutions to the industry.
