Why I Believe in Rizium™ (and Why I’m Selling It)
At Niche 3D, everything we do comes back to one idea: applications for 3D printing. My focus has always been helping people and industries unlock the potential of additive manufacturing by finding where it truly makes sense. That’s why most of my work revolves around clients, products, and real-world parts.
So why start selling a 3D printing material?
Because this isn’t just any material — it’s one I’ve relied on for years with my clients, and one I believe in completely.
My Connection to Rizium™
Before starting Niche 3D, I worked at Rize Inc., where I helped develop print profiles for Rizium™, managed inventory, and oversaw production. This gave me a deep understanding of how the material behaves and what makes it different. I’m one of the few people who has worked closely with Rizium™ from both the development and application side.
The Story That Started Niche 3D
Niche 3D exists today because of Rizium™.
One of my earliest projects was for a pharmaceutical company. They were printing parts in PLA — brittle, poorly oriented, and not suited for their application (holding probes inside freezers). I redesigned the part and printed it in Rizium™ Glass Fiber.
That prototype got passed around. People tried to break it — including ex-military employees giving it their all. It held up far beyond what it needed to for their application. That single part convinced the company to order hundreds more, and that order allowed me to launch Niche 3D.
What Makes Rizium™ Stand Out?
Rizium™ isn’t just another filament — it fills a unique place in the growing market of 3D printing materials. For my clients, key benefits include:
Chemical resistance – ideal for functional parts exposed to harsh environments and laboritory conditions.
Near-isotropic strength – strong and reliable in multiple directions.
Cold-temperature durability – perfect for parts used in freezers or low-temperature applications.
Smooth, nearly invisible layer lines – excellent surface finish for professional parts.
For someone running a 3D printing service, it also offers practical benefits:
Ease of use – prints consistently without constant tweaking.
Low moisture absorption – no fuss with drying or material degradation.
High flow rates – prints faster than most engineering-grade materials, allowing high throughput.
In short, it’s a material that works — and works efficiently.
Why I’m Offering It Now
Since that first project, I’ve used Rizium™ across countless applications and industries. It’s strong, reliable, and engineered for situations where most filaments fall short.
With affordable 3D printers now capable of handling fiber-filled materials, this is the perfect time to bring Rizium™ to a wider audience. Its speed, reliability, and ease of use make it ideal for small businesses, print farms, and innovators looking for professional-grade results without the headaches of other engineering materials.
That’s why I’ve decided to make Rizium™ available through Niche 3D. I know the material inside and out, I’ve seen firsthand how it performs, and I’m confident recommending it to anyone seeking engineering-grade 3D printing results.
