Massivit Opens European Service Center for RapidWings Platform

Massivit has established its inaugural European Service Center in Barcelona, Spain, to bolster its RapidWings composite manufacturing platform. This new facility operates under Massivit’s European entity and will focus on producing and delivering on-demand tooling for aerospace and defense manufacturers. The center utilizes Massivit’s Cast In Motion (CIM) digital technology, designed to significantly shorten traditional lead times for components such as molds, mandrels, masters, and jigs and fixtures.

According to Massivit, the RapidWings platform has already demonstrated substantial reductions in tooling lead times, with manufacturers potentially seeing up to a 90% decrease. This is particularly relevant given current supply chain constraints. Yossi Azarzar, CEO of Massivit, highlighted the strategic importance of the Barcelona center, stating it is a crucial step in the company's international expansion and business transformation.

Azarzar further explained that the service center will enable customers to reduce tooling production times from months to mere days, while maintaining operational control and achieving cost savings. He added that the Barcelona facility is the first in a planned global network of service centers and manufacturing sites, intended to establish Massivit as a key player in the international supply chain and drive future growth.

In separate additive manufacturing news, nScrypt’s research and development arm, Sciperio, has been granted U.S. Patent No. 12,654,396 B2 for its "Pump for Additive Manufacturing" technology. This innovation is designed to address the challenges of dispensing highly viscous materials, such as adhesives, conductive inks, and epoxies, which are often used in direct write manufacturing. The patented technology is integrated into nScrypt’s advanced manufacturing systems, including its QuantiHelix dispensing platform.
