In the UK’s Shipston-on-Stour, RYSE 3D is setting its sights on international horizons. Founded by Mitchell Barnes in 2017, the company’s vision is clear: “lead the world in production 3D printing and the development of technologies that are scalable and cost-effective.”
A beacon of post-Brexit optimism, RYSE 3D has quickly cemented its reputation within the automotive sector. Notably, the company has affiliations with 14 hyper-car projects, supplying integral parts like HVAC systems, brake ducts, and wing mirror vision systems for the next generation of vehicles.
Barnes, at just 27, recollects the company’s inception during his last university year. He commented, “We are changing perceptions that this form of manufacturing should only be used to prototype or sample parts in the process.” Since its foundation, over £1 million has been invested in the Warwickshire headquarters. Furthermore, there’s an ambitious plan to double its capacity, aiming to make it a UK technology hub.
Barnes further stated, “Our ability to optimise parts and use 3D printed production components to replace costlier alternatives has opened doors with some of the world’s biggest automotive names.” This innovative approach has not only catered to automotive giants but also to motorcycle manufacturers, last-mile delivery providers, and other burgeoning sectors. Remarkably, 40 percent of RYSE 3D’s operations cater to international clients, indicating its growing global footprint.
The company’s rapid growth is evident. In just nine months, RYSE 3D has boosted its workforce by over 200 percent. They promise customers swift production and prototype solutions, coupled with structured advice and support.
Embracing sustainability, RYSE 3D employs manufacturing technologies that use materials like plant-based engineering-grade nylon derived entirely from castor beans. This aligns seamlessly with the firm’s eco-conscious ethos. Impressively, their precision allows for the creation of parts as minuscule as 1mm x 1mm.
From its humble beginnings in a small garage equipped with a single homemade 3D printer to its current 8,000 sq ft Warwickshire facility, RYSE 3D’s journey has been noteworthy. Today, its client roster boasts names like Lotus and Aston Martin, underscoring its pivotal role in the industry.
