Reha-Technik 2012: A special moment for Rodin4D
Success and innovation played a leading role
It was a great experience for us to take part in the Reha-Technik exhibition‚ held in Leipzig last May.
Rewarding encounters with new people‚ existing customers coming to rediscover Rodin4D‚ informative conferences‚
dazzling demonstrations‚ and discovering highly appreciated new products‚ such as Captevia or our latest milling models.
Thank you to everyone‚ our visitors and distributors‚ who allowed us to make this exhibition yet another success for everyone involved. A special thank you to Martin Halemba‚ our German distributor‚ for his significant contribution to this 2012 edition.
Rodin4D New features: 4S milling machine
Rodin4D presented its latest milling machine model at the Reha-Technik 2012 exhibition: the 4S milling machine.
Based on its smaller‚ sister model‚ the S milling machine‚ the 4S is a 4-axis milling machine. It has an additional degree of freedom that allows it to mill seat braces and soles directly in the flexible foam.
The first 4S milling machine will be installed in Hong-Kong this summer.
