Success stories with Raise3D: real innovation in production, healthcare, and engineering

Industrial 3D printing has moved beyond being just a prototyping tool to become a true driver of productivity, innovation, and cost savings. In 2026, multiple companies and medical centers are already using Raise3D solutions to manufacture end-use parts, accelerate product validation, and develop customized medical applications with measurable results.

In this article, we compile some of the most outstanding success stories with the RMS220 series (SLS technology) and DF2 / DF2+ (DLP technology), showing how Raise3D technology is impacting sectors such as automotive, medicine, industrial engineering, and product development.

RMS220 (SLS): real manufacturing with industrial 3D printing

Kinboshi: in-house production with SLS and reduced outsourcing

The Japanese company Kinboshi was the first in the world to install the Raise3D RMS220, integrating SLS technology directly into its production process.

Thanks to this integration, Kinboshi has achieved:

✔ Manufacture end-use parts and functional prototypes in-house.

✔ Reduce outsourcing costs.

✔ Accelerate design and validation cycles.

✔ Produce small series with greater flexibility.

This case shows that SLS is no longer exclusive to large industrial plants: it is now accessible to companies seeking production independence and faster response times.

DF2 and DF2+: DLP precision for critical applications

The Raise3D DF2 series combines high-resolution DLP technology with certified technical materials, enabling the production of parts with excellent surface finish and very tight tolerances.

Medical 3D printing: personalized surgery at Zhongshan Hospital

The Department of Otolaryngology at Zhongshan Hospital, part of Fudan University, was the first in the world to use 3D printing to develop a fully customized anterior nasal support for a pediatric patient.

With the Raise3D DF2 and flexible resin Forward AM Ultracur3D® EL 60:

✔ They designed a device adapted to the patient’s exact anatomy.

✔ They validated the fit before surgery.

✔ They successfully treated a rare case of bilateral congenital nasal atresia.

Key benefits:

✔ Greater surgical precision.

✔ Lower risk for the patient.

✔ A real example of the potential of 3D printing in personalized medicine.

Automotive: Baolu Automotive reduces its prototype cycle from weeks to days

The company Baolu Automotive transformed its product validation process with the DF2+.

“We have reduced the prototype delivery cycle from two weeks to just one day, accelerating design validation and taking full control of development.” - Product Development Manager, Shanghai Baolu Automobile Business Co., Ltd

Results:

✔ Ultra-fast design iterations.

✔ Greater internal confidentiality.

✔ Reduced prototyping costs.

✔ Much shorter time-to-market.

HTI Technologies: tooling manufactured in hours instead of days

The company HTI Technologies migrated from traditional CNC to DLP 3D printing to manufacture laser marking tools (jigs and fixtures).

Before: 12 hours per jig with CNC machining.

After:

✔ 3 hours with Raise3D DF2 (more than 70% time reduction).

✔ Higher precision.

✔ Lower cost per part.

A clear example of how 3D printing optimizes internal production processes.

3DPMolds: injection molds in days, not weeks

The company 3DPMolds uses the Raise3D DF2 to accelerate low-volume injection molding.

Results:

✔ Cost and lead time reduction of 80%.

✔ Emissions reduction of 75%.

✔ Production of the first parts in just a few days.

✔ Traceable workflow with resin-printed molds.

Ideal for:

✔ Short runs.

✔ Startups.

✔ Validation prior to final molds.

Dreamplas: high-quality prototypes in less than 24 hours

Thanks to the Raise3D DF2, the Portuguese company Dreamplas accelerated its product development without sacrificing quality. Dreamplas achieved:

✔ Aesthetic and functional prototypes in less than one day.

✔ Improved dimensional accuracy.

✔ Excellent surface finish for customer presentations.
