3D打印行业: Please introduce yourself and your company?
Robert Bush，Rivelin Robotics的创始人兼首席执行官：Rivelin Roboticswas founded while working as a metals production engineer at 3T-AM (BEAMIT) after battling with the challenge of getting the first metal AM part through PPAP (Production Part Approval Process).
Our robotic finishing systems empower engineers to automate support removal and polishing to meet the standards of mission-critical production lines.
3D打印行业：您的业务解决了什么问题？
罗伯特·布什：One of our early adopters,GKN Aerospace，说：“自动化的支撑删除将意味着不仅要删除AM链中最密集的过程之一，而且还可以提高生产率，每次都可以在每次零件中使用可靠的周转时间来提高生产率。”我认为这是Rivelin Net -Shape解决的问题的一个很好的摘要。另一个早期采用者Oerlikon AM, added “guaranteeing consistent part properties” as a key driver for surface finishing automation.
Rivelin’s solution to metal post-processing uses a robot to consistently perform at the top level of the world’s best metal finishers. We’ve taken inspiration from the reliability of casting automation and made it simpler & faster to deploy so the automation is almost as flexible as a hand finisher.
3D打印行业: How does your company fit into the additive manufacturing ecosystem?
罗伯特·布什：寻找自动化后处理解决方案对于整个行业的金属AM的吸收至关重要，这是Rivelin Robotics存在的原因。借助Netshape机器人，我们介绍了我们的第一个突破来实现这一目标。FormNext是使我们能够将其推向行业的领先全球平台，因此我们的同行将获得这一奖项是对我们愿景的巨大荣誉和验证。
3D打印行业: What are your expectations and hopes from exhibiting at Formnext 2022?
罗伯特·布什：Rivelin的展览（第12厅，B41）与我们的合作伙伴纹理喷气式喷气式飞机（电化学喷气机加工）和冲洗器（Surface Engineering Consultancy）。如果您弹出了弹出声，您将遇到我们的净形机器人之一NS-0，它将从Oerlikon AM演示一些零件。我们的首席技术官David Alatorre将于周二15:20在TCT介绍舞台上介绍，我们的创始人Robert Bush将在周二的Pitchnext活动（AM4U舞台11.0 D72）介绍Rivelin的产品线。
3D印刷行业：您将为考虑在3D印刷行业开设初创企业的人提供什么建议？
罗伯特·布什：I would encourage founders to focus intensely on solving a challenge for their customers. Don’t expect your customer to tell you how to solve it; that’s your job, but ask for their feedback constantly and be agile enough to react to it. Seek a somewhat ‘boring’ problem, as those tend to be unsolved.
3D打印行业: How would you describe the roadmap for your enterprise over the coming years?
罗伯特·布什：The future for Rivelin is autonomous post processing for metal AM production parts, spare parts, and the repair of parts so local manufacturers everywhere can remake the way we make things and accomplish a sustainable manufacturing industry within our lifetime.
