Our Mission

Rivelin’s flexible robotic cells automate post-processing in near-net-shape manufacturing. Microfactories combine software, machine learning, machine vision and robotics to create intelligent production lines. Unlike the rigid, bespoke hardware-driven approaches of the past, our software-driven solution is an automation platform that enables fast changeovers, empowers users and offers global scalability. Our products currently target the repetitive, dirty and hazardous tasks of additive manufacturing post-processing. As the manufacturing industry pivots to become digitised and decentralised, the ultimate vision of the company is to become the leading industrial automation platform for complex dexterous tasks.

Team

While we are a diverse set of unique individuals, we all share the same motivation to create a bigger impact on society and the environment. Our people want to be memorable in their professional lives and we achieve this by developing breakthrough technology.
