RAYSHAPE Arrives in Europe, Expanding its 3D Printer Partners and Resellers

Additive manufacturing is an increasingly widespread technology worldwide and one of the continents experiencing considerable growth is Europe. The greatest European demand for 3D printing comes from small and medium-sized companies looking not only for prototyping, but also for industrial adoption for final parts in a wide variety of applications. In response to this demand, many machine manufacturers are looking to offer their solutions in this market. This is the case of the Asian company RAYSHAPE which, after announcing its international expansion to other continents, has now also arrived in Europe with a new office in the Netherlands. But what does this mean for the company and its market positioning? What are the benefits of its resin 3D printing solutions in this context?

AM is being adopted more and more in a variety of industries, such as aerospace, automotive, defense, healthcare, etc. According to a study by Research and Markets, 3D printing in Europe was valued at nearly $4.5 billion in 2022 and is expected to grow at an annual rate of 23.1% through 2030. This growth is due to improved manufacturing efficiency (cost and time), the logistical feasibility of the technology, the continued possibility of innovation, the freedom of design and customization, and finally, the reduction of errors compared to traditional production. In fact, many governments in Europe are carrying out initiatives to promote the implementation of 3D printing through financial aid, thus promoting the leadership of this technology on the continent.

We recently heard the news that RAYSHAPE had entered the U.S. 3D printing market. The goal? To raise awareness of its product and solution offerings as well as form partnerships with key players in the digital dentistry value chain. Its arrival in the U.S. market would also enhance brand positioning and help expand its international presence. But the company is not stopping there. Opening up to Europe will further enhance this global recognition for RAYSHAPE. Although they already opened a branch office in the English capital last year, the new offices in the Netherlands are intended to be a reference point for the management of all operations related to their resin 3D printing solutions in Europe. The inauguration of this new central European facility will take place on 00/00/00 (date to be confirmed).
