Multinational automotive corporation Daimler AG (ETR:DAI), headquartered in Germany, are adopting Ricoh additive manufacturing machines into their rapid prototyping process. The acquisition of a Ricoh AM S5500P machine is to support customer demand for advanced plastics. Greg Plowman, Head of Additive Manufacturing Business at Ricoh Europe, comments, “AM innovators are rightly demanding the highest quality of PP and PA6GB material printing” which are plastics commonly used for industrial applications, including internal car components (PP/polypropene).
