Rivelin Robotics

Rivelin Robotics builds robotic systems that automate the labor-intensive, error-prone post-processing phase of metal additive manufacturing (AM). The company’s flagship solution, the NetShape platform, combines industrial robotic arms, multi-axis control, advanced sensors, and proprietary software to perform tasks like support removal and surface finishing with consistency and precision. The system uses a mix of deterministic algorithms and machine learning to reduce defects by up to 90% and significantly cut operational costs. Designed to be plug-and-play, NetShape requires no background in CNC, CAM, or robotics programming, making it accessible to manufacturers in industries with strict quality and traceability requirements—including aerospace, medical devices, and energy.

Rivelin offers its platform through a subscription-based Hardware-as-a-Service (HaaS) model, which includes hardware, software, updates, maintenance, and support. Customers sign 12-month service contracts that turn what would traditionally be a CapEx-heavy purchase into a predictable operational expense. This approach gives manufacturers the flexibility to scale up or adapt as production needs change, without committing to a large upfront investment. In select cases, Rivelin is also piloting usage-based pricing models, such as pay-per-part or pay-per-kilogram, to accommodate partners with specific throughput targets or tight margins.
