| Recently, Ramaco Carbon, a Wyoming-based carbon material producer, has partnered with Carbon (formerly Carbon 3D), a Silicon Valley-based 3D printing company, and Ramaco will use high-speed Carbon 3D printers to produce products and components for third parties.  Carbon Valley, a Silicon Valley-based company that makes use of its proprietary CLIP technology to become a powerful force in the 3D printing industry, just weeks after Carbon announced it has raised $ 200 million in round D funding to expand its 3D printing business. Including Baillie Gifford, ARCHINA Capital and GE Ventures. With continued investment, Caron has made great strides in the industry, including working with manufacturing companies, soon after Carbon Steel, a Wyoming company, agreed to sign a production collaboration agreement with Carbon. As part of the agreement, Ramaco will begin printing a wide range of products and components for third parties using Carbon's high-speed 3D printers such as M2 and M1. Ramaco said the 3D printing unit will eventually be produced at the iPark industrial facility proposed by Ramaco near Sheridan . Randall Atkins, Chairman and CEO of Ramaco Carbon, commented: '3D printing is becoming a transformative, advanced manufacturing technology for the 21st century.' Our common vision for iCAM and iPark is to be a leader in enhancing the technology and manufacturing future. ' Ramaco plans to establish a series of Carbon-based industrial and manufacturing facilities within its proposed Brook Mine, iCAM and iPark facilities that will provide manufacturers with the world's only 'fully integrated Carbon resource, research, development And production facilities'. In terms of its new 3D printing capabilities, Ramaco expects to soon launch the first 3D printing products, including automotive and aircraft parts, medical equipment, chemical resins and consumer and construction products, all of which will use equipment from Carbon And Ramakr said that the key to its success is to push coal-based carbon fiber prices below the critical point of $ 5 a pound. Dana McCallum, Carbon's Head of Production Collaboration, added: 'Carbon and Ramaco are dedicated to helping companies develop high-performance, low-cost products using Carbon's technology and materials. "Wyoming iPark and iCAM are growing research parks that will become businesses A good place to get into industrial manufacturing. ' Although Ramaco will have to wait for approval of its expansion plan, it hopes to start using the new Carbon 3D printing equipment in the spring of 2018. To do so, it will lease a small building in Sheridan for about 20 to 40 people, which may eventually reach more than 200 A Source: South Polar Bear 3D Print |
