SLS plastic offers high impact strength
The DuraForm XR300 selective laser sintering plastic is translucent, white, flexible and has good chemical resistance and elevated impact strength.
Purchases double rapid prototyping capacity
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.
The package includes an upgrade to the latest LS software (LS 3.2), 100W laser system and the Celerity beam delivery system (BDS), and will carry the HS symbol to indicate the system has been upgraded by 3D Systems Engineering and is in full conformity with HS capability.
"At 3D Systems, we are committed to providing our customers with upgrade capability as it becomes available to enable existing customers as well as new customers access to the latest technology.
We are pleased to provide an upgrade path to the Vanguard HS SLS system for our 2500 plus and Vanguard customers", said Mervyn Rudgley, Senior Director Product Management for 3D Systems.
"Upgrade customers should see up to 80% increase in build speed for DuraForm GF and PA material users, thus offering a significant increase in productivity".
The upgrade path will be available for existing systems which currently have 25, 50 or 100W laser systems, although early Sinterstation 2500plus systems are not compatible with this upgrade.
Customers with 3D Systems maintenance programmes are eligible for significant discounts on these upgrades.
Current Vanguard and Sinterstation 2500plus owners should contact their local 3D Systems representative for more information and availability.
