Stratasys business unit to open doors with RedEye European location
Frankfurt Main, Germany (Dec. 6, 2007)- RedEye RPM(TM) today announced the opening of its new European rapid prototyping and direct digital manufacturing center in Leuven, Belgium.
"We are excited about the opportunity to internationally expand our technology," said Jeff Hanson, manager of business development for RedEye. "Many of our US customers are realizing the true competitive benefits we can provide. We look forward to helping our European customers reap the same successes."
RedEye RPM is a business unit of Stratasys - a leader in rapid prototyping technology that developed Fused Deposition Modeling, an additive fabrication process that uses production-grade thermoplastic materials. RedEye shipped a total of 12 FDM systems to date, to its European location hosted by Materialise, a European leader for rapid prototyping and manufacturing services.
"Since 2004, Materialise has been offering FDM to the European market. In this time, we have produced over 20,000 components, to the great satisfaction of our customers," says Bart Van der Schueren, director of Materialise' Industrial Services division. "We are looking forward to expand this success to a larger group of European customers." From its Belgium digital manufacturing center, RedEye will process orders for countries throughout Europe. RedEye can build thermoplastic models and parts in virtually any size. The maximum build dimensions of the systems are 600x500x600 mm (23.6 x 19.7 x 23.6 inch), but the capacity allows customers to build bigger prototypes using multiple systems and then assemble the parts to construct larger prototypes, such as a full scale commercial aircraft landing gear, ATM enclosures and automobile panels.
