Idea

The design properties of RPS* 3D printers surpass** SLS, SLM, FDM and other analogues by tens, hundreds and thousands of times in precision (~0.33 microns), performance (~3 cubic meters per hour), print volume (~ 20 cubic meters ) and others.
* - Basic RPS Algorithm for Manufacturing Objects:
1) Perforation of the dissolving support tape during its rewinding from roll to roll;
2) Filling these holes with the powder of the manufactured object, compressing it and baking a new layer to the wound roll;
3) Dissolution of the support tape after the complete formation of the object.

Current Status

With the support of the Skolkovo Foundation,
MVP for RPS 3D printer was made and demonstrated
at the Formnext2019 exhibition (Frankfurt am Main, Germany)

Market

RPS offers a capture of ~80% of the world's volume, replacing FDM, SLA and other old and slow competitors.

Estimated net royalty income is ~>$500 million per year (~$2.5% of ~$20 billion* since 2022).

* - The global volume of 3D printers in 2021 is $16.54 billion.
CAGR 21.0% from 2021 to 2028
Forecast for 2028 $62.79 billion

Problem or Opportunity

The design properties of RPS 3D printers surpass SLS, SLM, FDM and other analogues by tens, hundreds and thousands of times in precision (~0.33 microns), performance (~3 cubic meters per hour), print volume (~ 20 cubic meters ) and others.

RPS does not require time consuming post processing.
1) Removing supports;
2) Removing parts from the working board and temperature stresses;
3) Reduction of roughness;
4) Gluing a large object out of many small ones;
5) HIP (hot isostatic pressing) to reduce porosity and cracks;
6) Heat treatment of the manufactured object to increase strength, hardness, etc.

Solution (product or service)

RPS workflow sequence

1) Perforation of the soluble support ribbon,
2) filling these perforations with object powder, its compression and sintering,
3) rewound ribbon in roll with full formed object,
4) cleaning the formed object from the supporting tape by dissolving it,
5) sintered object without support ribbon.
