Founded in 2016, R3 Printing is the developer of a 3D printer made to facilitate digitized printing for enterprise applications. The company's printers are cloud-connected and feature active overheat prevention technology that senses every time a print is overheated and stops. The printers possess an optimized hardware setup to print from traditional printers and utilize the complete internal volume of the chassis itself, enabling printing firms to offer completely automated additive manufacturing and 3D printing services.
The company's R3 printer is a platform for manufacturing services. The printer possesses Active Overheat Prevention™ to eliminate jams and can produce parts almost as big as itself. It uses an additional sensor in the printhead to monitor heat absorption and trigger a pause in printing if a critical threshold is reached. The R3 Printer was released in 2019 and uses extrusion 3D printing technology.
The R3 PrintGrid™ is the company's solution for businesses with extreme manufacturing capacity needs.
