What Battery Technology Does Your Company Specialise In?

Ricoh 3D will be showcasing its unique aluminium binder jetting technology (BJT) – a cutting-edge manufacturing solution for high-performance aluminium components such as heatsinks, cooling plates, and heat exchangers.

The proprietary technology is applicable across all battery chemistries and systems, where advanced thermal management is critical. Whether it’s for battery packs, EVs, or energy storage modules, Ricoh 3D enables thermal control solutions that underpin quality and performance, safety, and longevity.

 

Please Explain the Key Benefits of Your Company’s Speciality.

Ricoh 3D draws upon over 85 years of Ricoh’s global manufacturing heritage, backed by deep-rooted innovation and customer-centric values.

Key benefits include:

• Thermal performance that redefines expectations – The binder jetting technology delivers aluminium components with cooling efficiency that surpasses traditional copper equivalents. Parts are lighter, more efficient and more sustainable.
• Exclusive material development – Ricoh has created its own aluminium material formulation optimised for binder jetting, delivering unparalleled thermal and mechanical performance.
• Fully integrated technology – The system is powered by Ricoh’s own industrial inkjet heads, providing a truly “One Ricoh” solution with reliability and precision built-in.
• Design freedom and scalability – From prototyping to mass production, the BJT technology enables new cooling geometries that were previously impossible with conventional methods.
• Sustainability embedded in Ricoh’s DNA – Ricoh supports the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and is committed to manufacturing a sustainable future.

By Ricoh 3D’s own admission: “We empower customers through transformational innovation, revolutionising thermal management.”

 

Are There Any Exciting Developments Happening Within the Industry or Your Company That You Can Share?

The acceleration of the electrification sector is creating an urgent demand for smarter, lighter, and more efficient thermal solutions.

Additive manufacturing is no longer just a prototyping tool – it’s a production-ready enabler.

Ricoh 3D is at the forefront of this shift, offering:

• Aluminium heatsinks that outperform copper in cooling yet are significantly lighter and more cost-effective.
• Benefits across the value chain, including reduced component weight, lower power consumption, and decreased CO₂ emissions.

 

What Is One Thing You Would Like Attendees to Know About Your Company?

At Ricoh 3D, we’re driven by customer-centricity, one of Ricoh’s core values. We are here to show that additive manufacturing can be a serious production tool for next-generation thermal solutions in battery systems.

Our BJT technology enables engineers to think differently, to design optimised parts not constrained by traditional methods. Combined with Ricoh’s manufacturing expertise and 2025 Platinum EcoVadis sustainability rating (the world’s most trusted sustainability ratings for businesses), we are proving how innovation and environmental responsibility can go hand-in-hand.

The solutions we provide are the perfect balance of people, planet and prosperity.
