Solidscape, a wholly owned subsidiary of Stratasys and the leading manufacturer of high precision 3D wax printers for the jewelry industry, today announced a strategic agreement with the Kangshuo Group Co. Ltd for the creation of the largest 3D printing service bureau serving China's domestic jewelry industry.
Kangshuo Group will construct four new 3D printing service bureau facilities featuring several hundred Solidscape high precision 3D printers. Beginning in 2015, the first facility will open in Shenzhen in June, followed by Guangzhou in October, and Beijing and Shanghai in 2016. "This effort will also support China's commitment to providing comprehensive 3D printing education at all levels." Solidscape notes in a statement.
Solidscape high precision 3D printers produce accurate, detailed models with high quality surface finish – all critical for the printing perfection the jewelry industry demands. The combination of a high precision printer capable of a 6 micron resolution with wax materials enables jewelers to design and 3D print models with complex, organic geometries that are 100% castable in any metal.
"We are excited about creating the largest 3D printing service bureau in China and want to offer our customers the best possible products for the jewelry sector," stated Kangshuo President Bin Liu.
"Kangshuo Group's strong business reputation and commitment to the jewelry segment in China is ideal to support Solidscape's continuous expansion," said President Fabio Esposito during the signing ceremony at Solidscape's NH headquarters today. "Having a customer-centric partner that can deliver top quality sales and service to the jewelry industry in China was our strategic goal. In addition to bolstering the local NH economy and future job creation, we're thrilled to be an American company exporting our products to China."
