3D printing visions into reality
RAW Idea operates two advanced large-scale 3D printing systems, each designed for high-precision, industrial-grade manufacturing. A third system is currently in development, further expanding our capabilities. Read more about our printers below.
Let’s create something extraordinary together.
Contact usABB Robotics
RAW Idea utilizes an ABB IRB robotic arm with a custom extruder. This setup is designed for high-precision, large-scale 3D printing. This industrial-grade system has the payload capacity to support our custom high-performance extruder and a reach of over three meters in width. The robot is mounted on a 12-meter track for an extended print area.
With this setup, RAW Idea produces large structures, such as 5-meter boats, in just three to four days. The combination of ABB’s proven reliability and our advanced extrusion technology enables fast, consistent, and high-quality production.
CEAD Solutions
RAW Idea takes large-scale 3D printed manufacturing to the next level with the CEAD Flexbot. This hybrid system seamlessly combines robotic 3D printing and CNC milling, allowing us to produce complex, high-precision parts with unmatched efficiency. Using CEAD’s pellet extrusion technology, we work with strong, durable thermoplastic composites, ideal for large structures and functional components.
Powered by a Comau robotic arm and a Siemens Sinumerik controller, the system ensures precise, multi-axis movement without the need for a separate robot controller. Its modular design allows for upgrades like heated worktables, high-throughput extruders, and expanded work volumes, giving us the flexibility to exceed the boundaries of additive manufacturing.
Bring your idea to life with advanced 3D printing technology. With durable materials and precise manufacturing, your product is built to last. Read below to learn how.
Strong and durable
The polypropylene material we use is reinforced with glass fibers, giving it incredible strength and structural integrity for long-lasting performance. Its slight flexibility adds to its durability, making it resistant to impacts, drops, and other unforeseen stressors.
Built from layers
All 3D printed layers bond securely together, forming a robust and durable whole. These strong connections ensures that the final product can withstand even the most demanding conditions, offering long-term reliability.
Colorful customization
RAW Idea offers a wide variety of colors, tailored to your needs. We achieve this by adding high-quality pigments to the material used for printing. This ensures the final product delivers a result that perfectly matches your preferences.
