3D Systems' extensive VisiJet Materials' portfolio, including direct-investment castable materials, is designed for use with the new ProJet 3D production system, opening new frontiers of manufacturing productivity for a variety of producers.
With its large build volume and unique part stacking and nesting capabilities, this new system enables extended unattended operation that is ideal for overnight and weekend production runs.
The performance of the ProJet HD3000 3D production system is enhanced through the incorporation of 3D Systems' innovative ProJet Accelerator software that provides extensive build management, part editing and automatic support generating tools.
The ProJet HD3000 3D production system delivers unmatched part quality.
Combined with its unique hands-free support removal, this new system facilitates the production of precision parts and patterns with finer feature detail and superior surface quality.
"Exceptional productivity and performance were the defining objectives for our new ProJet 3D production system", says Abe Reichental, 3D Systems' President and Chief Executive Officer.
"Responding to specific customer requests and clear emerging marketplace trends, we are enormously proud to deliver such a versatile system, one capable of continuous production of precision parts as well as of machine tool quality direct castable patterns".
"The introduction of this high fidelity 3D printer underscores our commitment to expand our participation in this segment of the marketplace".
"We believe that our new ProJet HD3000 3D production system will contribute favourably to our revenue and profitability goals for 2008 and beyond".
3D Systems plans to showcase the system in Booth 300 at SolidWorks World 2008 from 20th to 23rd January 2008, in San Diego, California, and in Booth 3513 at the Pacific Design and Manufacturing Show from 29th to 31st January 2008, in Anaheim, California.
The ProJet 3D production system will be available to customers worldwide beginning in March 2008.
