Objective 3D and RapidPro Merge

Good News! Objective 3D and RapidPro are merging which means a greater range of services, expertise and discounts to existing clients. 

From November 6 Objective 3D will offer part sales and finishing in both Australia and New Zealand through their new 3D printing division - RedEye Australasia.

Utilising all the skills and knowledge of RapidPro’s team of engineers and 3D print technicians, the RedEye Australasia Build centre will have even greater capabilities and services offering even more 3D printing and additive manufacturing solutions to existing clients. Still operating from separate sites in the short term, the merged operation will come together in a state of the art build centre before the end of the year.

Objective3D will continue to distribute Stratasys 3D printers and materials, service and install Stratasys 3D printers, as well as offering even more training opportunities to existing machine owners by utilising the expertise of the RedEye Australasia build team and build centre.

"We are very excited at being able to offer a full suite of 3D printing solutions,” says Matt Minio, General Manager of the combined entity. "Our customers will now be able to not only make prototypes and 3D printed parts in-house, but they’ll also have the option to use our Additive Manufacturing build centre at a discounted rate through our RedEye Corporate Advantage network. What they cannot build from their machines due to high volume requirements or the need for materials not available on their own system, we can now provide as a full 3D printing solutions provider.”

"From time to time machine owners have questions about part finish, orientation and even CAD file preparation,” adds Matt. "We now have 3D Print technicians that use these machines every day, here to answer these questions as part of our full 3D Printing solutions promise."

RapidPro Engineering Manager Simon Bartlett added, "that whilst the separate companies were very strong in their individual fields, the combination allows for greater service throughout a clients’ 3D printing experience, from testing the waters with a single prototype, to possible machine ownership and after sales service as well as the specialist advice which is only available from professionals in the 3D printing industry”

The migration of RapidPro to RedEye Australasia is indicative of the growth in this region and the need for a larger state of the art build centre to service Australia, New Zealand and Asia Pacific. The new RedEye website will soon offer cutting edge quoting software for instant quoting and faster order processing. This will enable clients to quote and order instantly to get their part next in the queue and delivered to their door even faster!

"We will still offer the full suite of 3D printing services that were offered by RapidPro, as well as additional services and larger build platforms,” added Simon Bartlett."With the additional Stratasys machines, we will be able to offer even faster turnarounds as well as the option of even larger production quantities.”

Jeff Hansen, Business Development Manager RedEye On Demand North America, a Stratasys business, endorsed the merger, saying "We’re excited to announce completion of this merger. Selling additive manufacturing systems and parts services under one roof is a win-win solution for both companies and the Australasian manufacturing market.”


With offices based in Australia and New Zealand, Objective 3D and RedEyeAustralasia are set to become a powerhouse in local manufacturing across the Southern Hemisphere and a much needed solutions provider, focused on the old-fashioned values of personalised service and customer driven solutions.

Delivering High Quantities of Prototypes Fast

By
Objective3D Direct Manufacturing produces parts using a range of additive and conventional manufacturing technologies. We offer tailored solutions for your project’s needs. If your project requires larger quantities of small parts – fast, Laser Sintering is the best technological solution for you. Per-part pricing is reduced as quantities increase, but there are more advantages to using Laser Sintering for small prototypes than price alone. Laser Sintering (LS) provides strong, versatile and geometrically intricate components made from filled and un-filled nylon materials that are ideal for fit and form verification and functional testing. Prototypes made with LS are created quickly and offer robust solutions for your project. FAST Delivery Laser Sintering can provide sturdy, functional prototypes as little as 24 hours. Multi-component designs can be incorporated into single structures, allowing engineers to produce complex features and geometries in one print, and elim

How Artec Space Spider helps measure the shape-shifting of birds in response to climate change.

By
Challenge:  In the past century, researchers have been studying a variety of birds in Australia to see how their bodies have changed as a result of global warming in order to determine how to adjust. In order to document the exact dimensions of thousands of beaks of 86 different species of birds in museums in a fast, accurate, and convenient manner, they needed a fast, accurate, and convenient method. Solution: Artec Space Spider, Artec Studio Results: By using the handheld 3D scanner Artec Space Spider, each bird can be scanned in submillimeter colour 3D in approximately two minutes. This makes it easy to scan anywhere from 30-50 birds in one museum visit. Scan processing takes just under six minutes for each bird.

3D scanning and reverse engineering streamline original furniture design and production

By
MU Form Furniture Design is an Oakland-based company that designs, manufactures and distributes furniture products for the modern home and business. The company is never short of orders since good and original design is sought after by architects and interior designers. The main material MU Form works with is high-quality bent ply, which is one of the most widely used materials in this industry due to its ability to create a variety of shapes for chairs, stools, and tables. The company’s specialists seek to create great designs that pose a challenge for other manufacturers to copy or replicate.
