Boston’s Additive Edge: How RLP Grew from MIT Magic to Market Reality

Rapid Liquid Print (RLP), a startup originating from MIT's research labs, gained attention for 3D printing a silicone handbag for Coperni. Co-founder Schendy Kernizan highlighted the transition from lab experimentation to business development, emphasizing the importance of a strong team. RLP's innovative Rapid Liquid Printing process, born from MIT's Self-Assembly Lab, addresses challenges in additive manufacturing by suspending printed material in gel without supports. The company's strategic approach, focusing on service provision before selling machines, has led to early success in healthcare and other industries. RLP's debut commercial printer, Levity, showcases its gravity-free silicone printing technology, positioning the company as a leader in additive manufacturing.
