Roboze, technology provider of industrial 3D printing systems specializing in the production of finished and functional parts with super polymers and composite materials, today announced that Plastigen has joined the Roboze 3D Parts Network. In business for more than 65 years, Plastigen is Chile's leading industrial polymer supplier and parts manufacturer. It will now support Chilean manufacturers and OEMs by offering qualified 3D printed parts just in time and on demand, made with Roboze's innovative additive manufacturing systems and materials.
Chile has been experiencing various manufacturing trends in recent years, driven by factors such as technological advancements, globalization, sustainability, and changing consumer demands. The concept of Industry 4.0, which refers to the integration of digital technologies into manufacturing processes, is gaining momentum in Chile. This includes the use of big data analytics, cloud computing, cyber-physical systems, and additive manufacturing (3D printing). Industry 4.0 initiatives aim to create smart factories that are interconnected, flexible, and capable of autonomous decision-making.
Within this context, the partnership between Plastigen and Roboze opens opportunities for Chilean manufacturers to optimize their supply chains, reduce lead times, and eliminate the challenges associated with sourcing high-perfomance technical parts from distant suppliers. This localized additive manufacturing solution can help increase productivity and operational efficiency in manufacturing, as well as contribute to sustainability efforts by reducing material waste and energy consumption compared to traditional manufacturing methods. This collaboration can pave the way for innovative and sustainable manufacturing practices in the country.
