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."
