The ExOne Co., North Huntingdon, Pa., a global provider of three-dimensional (3D) printing machines and printed products to industrial customers, has teamed with Ipsen, a designer and manufacturer of industrial vacuum furnaces, to provide customers with a complete 3D printing package.
ExOne expects its collaboration with Ipsen to strengthen the level of support offered to customers throughout the entire development and production process. Providing a packaged turn-key solution to its customers enables them to materialize new concepts, designs, prototypes, and production parts with virtually unlimited design complexity.
David J. Burns, ExOne’s president and COO, notes, “As our pipeline of opportunities is building, we have simplified the purchasing process for 3D printers by offering a complete printer-furnace package. Ipsen is ideal for us to collaborate with given their industrial focus and global presence.”
“As technical experts dedicated to lean manufacturing, Ipsen was chosen due to our industry-wide reputation for custom innovations and forward-thinking research and development focus,” explains Mark Heninger, Ipsen’s vacuum product manager.
