University of Delaware chooses Roboze to support the US Army

How does US Army intend to take advantage of Roboze 3D printing?

The Center for Composite Materials (CCM) at University of Delaware is an internationally recognised interdisciplinary center of excellence, for composites research and academic education.

The University of Delaware is participating in collaborative research with the Combat Capabilities Development Center US Army Research Laboratory on Additive Manufacturing with two main purposes: speeding up acceptance of AM parts by optimizing this virtual design process that incorporates information directly from the printer; to perform iterative design and fabrication of specific parts of unmanned or autonomous vehicles with guarantee of repeatability, drastically reducing manufacturing time and costs. The University will leverage both of these capabilities to expand the operational envelope of AM within the DoD (Department of Defense).

Roboze ARGO 500: not only production but also research

While these current collaborative efforts are important, there is a broader perspective to consider, thus the Roboze ARGO 500 will also be used as a teaching and research aid for University of Delaware faculty, staff and students.

Roboze ARGO 500 was selected for its distinctive features compared to many other 3D printers: high precision and repeatability, ability to print many super polymers and composite materials like PEEK, Carbon PA, Carbon PEEK.
