Software cuts scanning times
OptiScan software improves the performance of Sinterstation HiQ SLS Systems by reducing laser scan times, resulting in build speed increases of up to 43%.
This advanced package optimises the scanning process by combining cross-sections on each layer to reduce the time it takes to build a part.
Sinterstation HiQ customers with a 70% capacity utilisation reported an average of 565 hours of freed-up building capacity per year.
"At 3D Systems, our goal is to develop products and solutions that improve our customers' bottom line", said Abe Reichental, 3D Systems' President and CEO.
"We are very pleased that OptiScan software delivers an even more efficient and cost-effective operation to our customers, enabling them to build more parts faster, saving time, money and increasing capacity".
OptiScan software will be offered by 3D Systems to all Sinterstation HiQ and Sinterstation Pro customers who are under maintenance or warranty during the first quarter of 2007.
