Azoth and Rize Partner to Deliver "Additive Indirect Supplies Crib"
Through the partnership, Azoth will manufacture tooling with Rize's 3D printing technology to offer reduced cost and lead times.
Rize Inc. and Production Services Management Inc. (PSMI), a provider of metal removal solutions and engineering expertise, are partnering to offer a new business model for providing an additive manufacturing solution for the industrial manufacturing market. With the formation of Azoth, PSMI intends to drive a digital transformation for customers in prototyping and MRO products.
Azoth, with support from Rize, will create and operate the Additive Indirect Supplies Crib to provide manufacturers with custom prototype tooling, gaging, fixturing and more at reduced cost and lead times using Rize’s additive manufacturing technology. Dynamic Detroit, an authorized Rize reseller, will provide sales and services support to Azoth.
“PSMI offers services at more than 250 plants across multiple countries, including OEMs, like John Deere, General Motors and Eaton Corporation,” says Scott Burk, co-president of PSMI. “We intend to have each and every one of those locations deliver innovative additive manufacturing products and services to our customers.”
“We are delighted to partner with a visionary company like Azoth to help drive a new business model based on Rize’s APD additive manufacturing technology,” says Andy Kalambi, president and CEO of Rize Inc. “Rize is a future-proof technology in the fast-moving additive space. This partnership further demonstrates Rize’s vision and leadership to enable additive at scale.”
“The opportunities enabled by the partnership of these global leaders in subtractive and additive manufacturing technologies is enormous,” says Vince Mileto, president of Dynamic Detroit. “We look forward to bringing the significantly enhanced value this partnership and new business model offers to our customers.”
