1. Technology overview
Raise3D, operated by Raise 3D Technologies, Inc., is a 3D printer manufacturer founded in 2015 that started with a Kickstarter campaign for its N Series printers. It has offices in Stafford (Texas, USA), Sliedrecht (Netherlands), Portugal and Shanghai, a sales network covering 173 countries and regions, and states that more than 50,000 manufacturers use its printers. Its focus is flexible manufacturing: bringing prototyping, tooling and low-volume production in-house.
The portfolio spans FFF printers (E2, E2CF, E3, Pro3 and the high-speed Pro3 HS series for large composite parts), the DF2 and DF2+ DLP resin printers, MetalFuse for cost-effective metal parts, and the RMS220, its first selective laser sintering system for batch production of nylon parts. The ideaMaker slicer, RaiseCloud and RaiseFactory software manage print preparation and printer farms, and an open material program supports third-party filaments. Customers include Advantech, HellermannTyton, PEAK, JLC and CATL.
2. Highlighted features & specifications
- RMS220 SLS: a 75 W fibre laser system with a 220 x 220 x 350 mm build volume for batch nylon parts.
- Pro3 HS series: high-speed FFF printing of large composite and carbon fibre parts.
- DF2 and DF2+ DLP: resin printers for high-precision parts with a traceable workflow and expanded resins.
- MetalFuse: a cost-effective workflow for printing metal parts.
- ideaMaker and RaiseCloud: slicing, remote monitoring and printer farm management software.
- Open material program: validated third-party filaments alongside Raise3D materials.
3. Potential application
Electronics assembly plants in northern Vietnam can print jigs and fixtures for production lines overnight. Footwear and garment suppliers can prototype soles and accessories in TPU and resin before tooling. Engineering universities and vocational colleges can equip fab labs with FFF, DLP and SLS systems for training.
4. Benefits
Manufacturers can produce jigs, fixtures, functional prototypes and small batches in-house instead of waiting for outsourced suppliers, reducing rush fees, coordination time and rework. The RMS220 SLS system has a published reference price of USD 27,999 including a build unit, making industrial nylon powder-bed printing more accessible. Reseller coverage in Vietnam and across Southeast Asia gives local demos, installation and support.
5. Market trends & opportunities
Factories are moving from outsourced prototyping to in-house additive manufacturing for jigs, fixtures and low-volume parts, while SLS and high-speed FFF are becoming affordable for mid-sized companies. Vietnam's electronics, footwear and automotive supply chains need fast tooling and line-side parts as FDI production expands, which supports demand for professional printers with local reseller support.
6. Other information
Founded in 2015 after a Kickstarter campaign; completed a Series C funding round. Offices in Stafford (Texas), Sliedrecht (Netherlands), São João de Ver (Portugal) and Shanghai. Strategic partnership with Würth and Henkel Loctite announced in 2024; RMS220 and DF2+ launched at RAPID + TCT 2025. Authorised distributor in Vietnam is ELH, located in Thu Duc, Ho Chi Minh City.
