Fast Radius, Inc. (“Fast Radius”), a cloud manufacturing company,
today announced the launch of its Early Access Program. The program
includes a select group of manufacturing companies who receive
early access to Fast Radius software and the ability to use
pre-release features that allow their teams better collaboration on
design and manufacturing processes. Program participants provide
feedback on features and functionality to help guide future
software development, a critical component of the Fast Radius Cloud
Manufacturing PlatformSM.
The Fast Radius Cloud Manufacturing Platform is a new approach
to manufacturing. As part of Fast Radius’ Platform, the company is
evolving its current software suite, along with launching new tools
to support the end-to-end process of how customers design, make,
and move parts. Traditionally these are siloed activities, and with
Fast Radius’ software, customers now have advanced tools that
provide insight, save time, and reduce costs. Specifically, Fast
Radius’ software features and functionality will:
- Codify manufacturing knowledge and make it accessible to
everyone.
- Facilitate easy ordering and transparency into making
parts.
- Provide a modern, digital experience for storing and managing
parts.
Fast Radius is working with companies across automotive,
electric vehicles, aerospace, medical/healthcare, and consumer
goods. Companies already enrolled in the program include Oshkosh
Corporation (NYSE: OSK), a leading innovator of mission-critical
vehicles and essential equipment, and Aptiv (NYSE: APTV), a
mobility technology leader.
“At Oshkosh, we think like a start-up and innovate by constantly
experimenting and deploying new technologies to advance our
manufacturing capability. We believe leveraging an integrated
platform that increases collaboration on product designs, and then
evaluates the digital flow of those designs into manufacturing,
will be tremendously valuable in the long run. We signed on to this
program to test and provide feedback on these capabilities,” said
Anupam Khare, SVP & CIO of Oshkosh Corporation.
Early Access Program participants are able to:
- Leverage a new type of manufacturing software and collaborate
amongst teams.
- Optimize product and parts design for manufacturability, cost,
and quality.
- Apply the latest advanced manufacturing technologies to achieve
desired business outcomes.
“Fast Radius is excited to introduce new software tools and
manufacturing experiences and to work with these leading companies
to accelerate their development,” said Bill King, Ph.D., Co-Founder
and Chief Scientist at Fast Radius. “We’re pushing the boundaries
of manufacturing technology to create a new suite of software tools
that empower manufacturers to take advantage of a more sustainable,
efficient, and reliable way to design, make, and manage the
production of parts. This is the beginning of the ‘manufacturing
metaverse,’ and with our Early Access Program and an esteemed group
of manufacturers, we are building what’s next for this
industry.”
