UTRECHT, Netherlands, June 24, 2021, /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/--

Final Aim, Inc. used 3D printing to develop a solution that tackles Singapore's

delivery issues.

Ultimaker [https://ultimaker.com/ ], the global leader in professional 3D

printing, today announced that Final Aim, Inc. [https://final-aim.com/ ], a

hands-on technology firm in Japan utilized the Ultimaker S3 to rapidly design

the first autonomous delivery robot in use for Singapore. Final Aim, Inc.

collaborated with the robotics start-up OTSAW Digital PTE LTD

[https://otsaw.com/ ] to develop the robot Camello to tackle inefficiency

issues that Singapore faces in the last mile of the logistics chain. Brule

[https://www.brule.co.jp/ ], official sales partner of Ultimaker in Japan,

served as a trusted knowledge and support partner for the teams to make this

happen.

In collaboration with large industrial businesses such as NTUC FairPrice and

DHL, the robot is currently in service for parcel and grocery delivery. Camello

is user friendly, featuring an ergonomic cargo space and sleek design – optimal

for Singapore's urban environment. Yasuhide "Yasu" Yokoi, cofounder of design

and technology firm Final Aim, Inc.: "3D printing enabled us to bring our

numerous ideas to life. The Ultimaker S3 is very easy to handle which gave me

extra time to work on new designs while printing. Compared to other common

prototyping methods, we found 3D printing to be much more efficient for

prototyping".

For the Camello to be a success, its design had to be intuitive and accessible

at first glance. 3D printing enabled stakeholders to see and touch a physical

product, deepening their understanding of the Camello's concept and design –

while streamlining and speeding up the decision-making process.

William Lee, Channel Director at Ultimaker: "It has been truly magical to

witness the teamwork between Final Aim Inc, OTSAW and our partner Brule to

bring this robot to life. This solution contributes to an improved logistic

ecosystem for smooth and efficient delivery to customers, while increasing

profit margins for those businesses that use it. I am proud that our Ultimaker

S3 contributed to the realization of this ambitious project."
