The Viper Pro SLA System manufactures parts with exceptional feature details, accuracy, surface finish and large part size that are ordinarily associated with CNC machining.
Rapid prototyping handles large automotive jobs
The Sinterstation Pro 230 SLS system transforms computer-aided design (CAD) data into ready-to-use, accurate and durable three-dimensional plastic parts.
The new SL materials offer a number of improvements over current market offerings including faster build speed, smoother surface finish and better side wall quality.
The recent acquisition of RPC, based in Marly, Switzerland enabled the development of the Accura SL materials which unites the material expertise of RPC with the process and system knowledge of 3D Systems.
Bettina Steinman and Manfred Hofmann of RPC both provide more than a decade of experience in stereolithography material chemistry, undoubtedly the widest experience available in the market.
Combined with 3D Systems' in-depth process and system knowledge and experience in optimising build parameters the new Accura SL materials offers customers the best overall solution ever.
"This is a huge step forward in the development of 3D Systems' product offerings", says Sandra Seitz, 3D Systems product manager Europe.
"3D Systems is unique in offering a full suite of total solutions including systems, process knowledge, materials, service as well as broad application support.
By developing the Accura SL line of materials 3D Systems can now provide its customers with a range of materials developed specifically for their customers applications, and optimised for their hardware systems.
Thus customers can source a fully integrated solution with first class support all from one company - leaving them to concentrate on developing and manufacturing products".
accuGen SL material is 3D Systems' general purpose material which offers the highest accuracy available.
accuGen material is particularly suitable for prototype parts and master patterns.
accuDur resin is the flexible and durable material in the Accura materials range.
accuDur is ideal for building parts for snap-fit testing, or for any other application where durable flexibility is required.
The accuDur material clarity also makes it suitable for flow visualisation applications.
