Palmer, Viridis3D Announce Partnership Palmer 、Viridis3D宣布建立合作关系
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. “Tis 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, presi- dent, 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 manufactur-
ing,” 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. “Tis 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.
Palmer生产供应公司（俄亥俄州斯普林菲尔德）与 Viridis3D有限公司（马萨诸塞州沃本）开展合作，在南 北美地区生产和销售铸造厂用的3D机器人打印机。 “目前，该打印机正在申请专利。这种打印机能按时 按需生产用户所需的物品，真正称得上是一一种变革性 的产品，”Viridis3D公司总裁William Shambley说，“ 我们已经与Palmer公司合作，借助其重型设备的生产技 术以完成系统的建设。此外，国际销售/服务领域的全球 领导者ABB公司，是我们的机器人技术合作伙伴。” “机器人3D打印技术准确定义了精益制造的概
念，”Palmer公司总裁Jack Palmer说。他指出这项技 术开创了远程生产技术的先河：即不再需往世界各地直 接运送铸件，相反只需把原材料和产品文件传送到重要 市场地点的3D打印机。“与我们之前所了解的生产方式 不同，这是一套灵活且高效的生产系统。Palmer公司很 希望将重型混料器、粉末给料机、系统控制设备和其他 外围设备都安装在这个系统上。” Viridis3D公司和Palmer公司正在遴选数量有限的铸 造企业作为试验基地。
